Pantomime

• Pantomime is a three-movement orchestral work: 1. Alla marcia; 2. Andante; 3. Vivace¹

“Philip Lane (b.1950) wrote his Pantomime for strings while an undergraduate in 1971. The title is used in its light-hearted, entertaining sense, and the three short movements are designed to be succinct and not to outstay their welcome.”
