The Little Matchgirl was written as a ballet score, but works equally well in concert. Based on the story written by Hans Christian Andersen, this evocative work is very descriptive and moving. Written in ten scenes:
Introduction
In the Marketplace
Grandmother's Death
On the Streets
Enter the Tyrant
Village Dance
Cold and Alone
First Match: Christmas Vision
Second Match: What Might Have Been
Third Match: The End
