Anna Thorvaldsdottir: Transitions

Anna Thorvaldsdottir: Transitions

The theme of this work is ‘man & machine’, as commissioned by Michael Nicolas. The theme is represented in that the Cellist becomes both in the piece – man & machine – where man indicates performing expressively with emotion, and a musical approach to the music, and machine indicates more precise rhythmic and technical accuracy, a somewhat stricter approach to the music. These two approaches gradually transition from one to another throughout the work. Anna Thorvaldsdottir  frequently works with large sonic structures that tend to reveal the presence of a vast variety of sustained sound materials, reflecting her sense of imaginative listening to landscapes and nature. Her music tends to portray a flowing world of sounds with an enigmatic lyrical atmosphere.

Helen Grime: Harp of the North

Helen Grime: Harp of the North

For Solo Piano. Harp of the North was commissioned by Warren Mailley-Smith in November 2004. First performed at the Stratford-upon-Avon Music Festival, October 2005.A lyrical melody is central to the texture in the opening section, often interrupted or partially shaded by surrounding filigree material. Two passionate and more agitated interjections punctuate the course of the piece, with the lowest of the bass notes, which are sparingly used, occuring at the main climax. A tender and melancholy reminder of the opening material leads the work to a gentle close.

Helen Grime: 10 Miniatures for Solo Piano

Commissioned by ecat with funds provided by the Scottish Arts Council. First performed by Simon Smith and The Queen's Hall, Edinburgh, October 2009."In 10 Miniatures, I wanted to explore the idea of transforming material in unusual ways. Each miniature is related to its predecessor. I have taken an idea or series of ideas, whether it is a chord, melodic fragment or rhythmic cell, and used it to form the starting point for the next movement. Each movement has its own title, ranging from Delicate and Fleeting to Bold and Ceremonial and Urgent and Rhythmical."        Helen Grime"Exquisite"International Piano

Peter Maxwell Davies: Quartet Movement Parts

Peter Maxwell Davies: Quartet Movement Parts

This is - so far - the earliest composition by Davies to be available for performance, and mighty interesting it is. Written while he was still a young student, it provides a candid glimpse of the thing that concerned him: how music could be both forward-moving in the classical Western sense (this is, after all, a piece for a wholly conventional medium) and repetitive in the manner of the Indian and medieval music in which he was interested. What results is a singular machine geared to an intermittent ostinato in the first violin.Duration c. 5mins.Set of parts. This is a special item which is made to order. Please e-mail our Mail Order Department for further information.

Judith Weir: Sinfonia Comatica (For Flexible Ensemble)

Judith Weir: Sinfonia Comatica (For Flexible Ensemble)

Sinfonia Comatica is a composition by Judith Weir which is scored for flexible ensemble, meaning music directors are able to make use of a variety of instruments, tailoring the parts to their chosen instrumentation. A truly innovative idea, this piece lasts around 1 and a half minutes and includes the Score and Parts. Originally commissioned by Contemporary Music for All (CoMA), it was also premiered by them on the 25th of October 2014 at St John's Smith Square in London. As for the scoring, a chart is included which detailed the range of each part and suggested instruments, but the list can be expanded creatively to produce innovative and unique performances of this work.

Geoffrey Burgon: The Wanderer for Clarinet Quintet (Score)

Geoffrey Burgon: The Wanderer for Clarinet Quintet (Score)

This work was commissioned by Pembroke College, Cambridge to celebrate the 600th anniversary of' their foundation. It was first performed at St. John's Smith Square, London on the 18th of March 1998 by Emma Johnson and the Vanbrugh Quartet.My idea in writing this piece was to depict a journey. The title comes from a poem of that name by W.H. Auden. I have used one or two simple musical ideas and transformed them as the journey progresses through different moods and landscapes. I had come across the Auden poem whilst searching out texts for a vocal work, and it was ideal as a programme for this piece because it is a quite dramatic journey, a mini-saga, full of incident and extreme contrast. The music is similarly dramatic, moving between extremes of tempo and dynamics. The clarinet is treated not so much as a solo instrument, more as a member of the ensemble, its timbre either blending or contrasting with that of the strings. It is in seven sections, played without a break.

Kevin Volans: String Quartet No.9 - Shiva Dances (Parts)

Kevin Volans: String Quartet No.9 - Shiva Dances (Parts)

Kevin Volans' String Quartet No. 9: Shiva Dances was commissioned by BBC Radio 3 and first performed by the Smith Quartet at the 2004 Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival.Kevin Volans (the composer) notes on the piece: In the past I have been interested in trying to go beyond historicism (1970s), beyond style(1980s) and beyond form (1990s) in my work. Looking back over the music of the twentiethcentury I was struck by the fact the nearly all of it is extremely 'busy', almost cluttered. Italmost seemed that composers felt compelled to look industrious. In the new millennium Ithought it would be interesting to try and eliminate content. I also aspired to moving frommusic (sound as art) to art (art as sound). This, of course, has already been done by a numberof composers (many from New York ? Phil Niblock and La Monte Young, to name but two), butit was something I had never tried.Although I found it annoying that the label 'minimalist' was given to my African-based work,and fearing this would make the label stick, I set out to write a piece which reflected my loveof minimal painting and architecture. The Japanese have a term 'wabi' meaning 'voluntarypoverty' or 'emptiness' to describe their restrained minimal aesthetic, an aesthetic which,however, pays greatest attention to the quality of material and fine detail. I like to think thatthe lack of excessive pitch material in this piece reflects a kind of voluntary poverty.When Shiva is portrayed dancing (as Nataraj) He is depicted in a circle of flames crushing asmall figure ? the ego ? underfoot.You get the impression He dances on the spot, not movingaround at all. I like that.The piece is dedicated to Pablo Pascual Cilleruelo.

Benjamin Britten: Two Portraits for Strings (1930)

Benjamin Britten: Two Portraits for Strings (1930)

Britten's Two Portraits for strings - the composer himself called them 'Sketches' - were composed in August and September 1930, during the summer holidays preceding the sixteen-year-old composer's first term at the Royal College of Music, in London.Both are musical depictions of character, the first portraying Britten's school friend, David Layton, and the second, introducing a solo Viola (Britten's own string instrument), a self-portrait of the composer. According to Britten's diary, he planned to compose a third portrait, again for strings, that was to depict another school friend, Peter Floyd, but this movement was not written. However, David Layton was to be portrayed again, though very differently, in Britten's later quartet suite, Alla Quartetto Serioso (1933), itself revised and re-titled in 1936 as Three Divertimenti.The Pencil manuscript score, in the Britten-Pears Library at Aldeburgh, although hastily written, is very detailed, ad dynamics and phrasing are carefully notated throughout. However in several places in the first 'Portrait' the notes themselves are either difficult to decipher, or, due to the highly chromatic nature of the music, difficult to interpret - in some cases Britten has clearly made notational 'spelling' mistakes, which have been silently corrected in this editon. A list of those places where the reading of the manuscript is doubtful may be obtained from the Britten-Pears Library, Aldeburgh.As with virtually all orchestral music from his youth, Britten did not hear either 'Portrait' performed. The first performance of Two Portraits was given by the Northern Sinfonia, conducted by Martyn Brabbins, broadcast by BBC Radio 3 on 5th December 1995, as part of a series entitled 'Britten's Apprenticeship'. The first concert performance of Portrait No.1 was given by the Britten Chamber Orchestra conducted by Andreas Mitisek, at the Konzerthaus, Schubert-Saal, Vienna, on 10th February 1996. The first concert performance of Portrait No.2 was given by Sinfonia 21, conducted by Martyn Brabbins, on 8th February 1996 at St John's, Smith Square, London. Martin Altrim was the Viola soloist.
