About

Wax Lyrical was commissioned by the Mellon Foundation for the Michigan-based new music ensemble Brave New Works. Its instrumentation was designed to match and augment (with piano) a work by Christopher Rouse, itself a companion piece to Ravel’s Introduction and Allegro. The first performance was given by Brave New Works in April 2008.

Wax Lyrical was the winner of the SOUNZ Contemporary Award in 2008.
