Par PUCCINI GIACOMO. Puccini’s first known sacred work was composed during his school days at the “Istituto Pacini” in Lucca. It was first performed there in 1877. The text was a hymn to the Patron Saint of Lucca which was probably written by the composer himself. The work was so popular that by 1880 it had received three further performances, though it was also inserted in the Messa a 4 voci, aft…

This creative piece allows the listener to musically envision the many different aspects of something that is 'mechanized,' whether it be the precision workings of the tiny and intricate gears and movements of a wind-up watch or clock, or the inner workings of a monstrous, steam-driven machine.

Par HAENDEL GEORG FRIEDRICH. 'Rodrigo” was premiered in autumn 1707 in Florence and is therefore one of Handel's early stage works. The composer, only 22 years old, wrote a densely-woven musical scenario for his first opera composed in Italy . It masterfully portrays the dramatic states of mind of the protagonists surrounding the Iberian tyrant Rodrigo and the plot full of deception, betrayal , a…

Par WEIR JUDITH. “Shortly after completing my Second Quartet, I realised that all of its formal features reminded me of moments from Beethoven’s quartets. An edgy, conversational opening followed by a long cello tune; an athletic minuet and trio; a hymn-like slow movement; and a second scherzo for the finale, ending with an extended, impassioned coda. I hadn’t intended to write a Beethoven homage…

Par ADES THOMAS. ''Still Sorrowing' - a lament which is also a homage to Romantic sentiments - proved to make the most ingenious use of a 'prepared' piano that I have heard in a long time. While a recurrent plaint tintinnabulates at the top of the piano's range and deep chords resonate at the bottom, some muffling device allows intricate figures and rhythms at mid-keyboard to rattle hollowly - a h…
