Par PART ARVO. 'In principio' takes its words from the Gospel of John 1:1-14 and puts them into a five-movement form. This work, as in all of Pärt's music, is governed by a strict formal design, with the clarity of the musical structure corresponding to that of the Latin text. The first movement (vv. 1-5) and the fifth (v. 14) are limited to two opposing formal elements: a static, syllabically art…

Par PONTI ALESSANDRO. Alessandro Ponti’s In Fuga da Verona for solo harpsichord is thriller in music, set in medieval Italy. The underlying story of the piece is like a ‘spin-off’ of Shakespeare’s tragedy. One could imagine the lives of a couple of young friends from opposing families suddenly changing because one of them has killed a rival and has to flee immediately from the town: the emotion an…

Arr. Philip Sparke. Par HENRY VIII. The English king, Henry VIII (1491-1547), is mainly remembered for disposing of his wives on a regular basis and breaking with the Catholic Church when the Pope Clement VII refused to grant him a divorce so he could marry Anne Boleyn. As a young man he was a gifted athlete, dancer and composer, writing many songs, poems and consort pieces (though not Greensleeve…

The Three Peaks - Die 3 Zinnen. Par DOSS THOMAS. The Three Peaks (Italian: Tre Cime di Lavaredo) are a prominent massif in the Dolomites on the border between the Italian provinces of Belluno in the south and South Tyrol in the north. The imposing rock formations formed over 200 million years ago and represent one of the most recognizable landmarks of the Dolomites and South Tyrol (I). Due to thei…

Par HANNICKEL MIKE. An energetic addition to your Christmas concert, the Holly Variations merges 'Deck the Hall with Boughs of Holly' (a duple-meter carol) with 'The Holly and the Ivy' (a triple-meter carol). This unlikely partnership sets the stage for some very interesting rhythmic effects as two strong and opposing meters struggle for dominance. As a striking opener or a 'contrast' piece, THE H…

Par D'ADAMO DANIEL. The 3rd piece of 'The Lips Cycle', 'Keep your furies', a duet with electronics based on texts by the composer, evokes the relationship between two entities, two different persons - two instruments - embodying two characters andtwo lives. They produce opposing or convergent sounds and senses, in relationships of causality or independence, emotion or indifference: their interacti…
