His earlier concertos for oboe and clarinet were turning-point pieces toward a new concept of composition that Corigliano describes as “architectural”—working from the vision of the overall formal design inward to the detailed musical expression.
It was during the composition of the Oboe Concerto (1975: Humbert Lucarelli, oboe; Kazuyoshi Akiyama, American Composers Orchestra) and, especially, the Clarinet Concerto (1977) that he first used the "architectural" method of composing which empowers him to forge a strikingly wide range of musical materials into arches of compelling aural logic.
His compositions during the 1960s included his orchestral Elegy ( 1965 ), Piano Concerto ( 1968 ), the song sets Petits Fours (1959) and The Cloisters ( 1965 ), and the beginnings of his choral symphony A Dylan Thomas Trilogy ( 1960 - 1976 ).
