Islero was commissioned by Steven Lipsitt and The Boston Classical Orchestra to celebrate the orchestra’s 25th anniversary. The work was to be a fanfare that opened the ensemble’s season and only utilized the group’s woodwinds, brass and timpani.

The initial sketches for this commission took on a light, neo-classical tone to reflect the history of the ensemble’s programming and to capitalize on the experience of its traditionally small wind section. However, upon learning of other works that were on the program—which included works by Arriaga, Lilla-Lobos, Rodrigo and a Vivaldi lute concerto performed by Sharon Isbin—I abandoned the sketches and was inspired toward a different aesthetic. This new, decidedly more aggressive, work juxtaposes an ostinato against an improvisatory sounding fanfare theme introduced by the trumpet. The title Islero, chosen after the composition was completed, draws the association of the analogous disposition of a so-named infamous Miura bull. Islero was premier on October 15, 2004 at Boston’s historic Faneuil Hall.
