News About Il Giocatore

Fall 2002:

The music for debut performances at the Julia Morgan Theatre in Berkeley utilized the original piano arrangement writtten by Joyce with the small addition of a harp.  Il Giocatore has been arranged for a full string orchestra, woodwinds, brass, and percussion.  As one might imagine, this was a formidable task resulting in over 1000 pages of hand-written music.  The arranger is a Ukranian highly trained in classical music.
