MUSIC REVIEW
Collage works its magic

The rest of the program offered opportunities to renew acquaintance with earlier works by three Boston composers. Marti Epstein’s “Private Fantasy Booth” is minimalistic in that it implies far more than it states. David Rakowski’s “Dances in the Dark,” drawn from a ballet for children, is accessible, energetic, and dodgy. The centerpiece of Peter Child’s “Tableaux I” is an eloquent “Elegy — in Time of War” flanked by two entertaining movements, “Flight” (an ascending scale takes wing) and “Diddle-ee dee,” a jazzy finale that ends with the performers scat singing. Charismatic young percussionist Sam Solomon seized his moment in the Child, and made the most of it. The musicians responded to the enthusiastic applause by reprising “Diddle-ee dee.”
