SKU: S9.Q23834

For thirteen players. Composed by Kenneth Hesketh. This edition: study score. Music Of Our Time. Downloadable, Study score. Duration 20 minutes. Schott Music - Digital #Q23834. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q23834).

This three-movement work reflects the character of the wunderkammer, or Cabinet of Curiosities, which flourished between the 16th to 18th centuries: ’in this labyrinthine landscape, I found a natural context to construct my own private collection of musical objects, ciphers, and quotations. The volatile and virtuosic textures of the work are created by demanding soloistic agility from each performer. Whilst being required to fit seamlessly together to form complex musical surfaces the musicians are also set belligerently strident and dramatic roles. The concerto form (kammerkonzert) proved a natural arena for such contradictory tensions that seek resolution through metamorphosis.’ (Kenneth Hesketh)

SKU: S9.Q6621

(Drei Perspektiven). Composed by Kenneth Hesketh. This edition: Sheet music. Downloadable. Duration 9 minutes. Schott Music - Digital #Q6621. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q6621).

'Die hängende Figur ist Judas' (The hanging figure is Judas) was commissioned by Dr. Margitta Giera as a gift for the German sculptor Michael Langer. Hesketh’s first ideas for the work came from a photograph of the Great Tympanum carving of the Last Judgement at St. Foy Cathedral in Conques, France showing an image of the hanged Judas surrounded by mocking demons. Two violent outer movements frame a bleak central section with each movement of the piece unfolds a different perspective of a swinging motif, be it a chord, a gesture or a rhythm. This is a demanding work which will challenge the very best players.

Oboe - Digital Download

SKU: S9.Q20514

For solo oboe. Composed by Kenneth Hesketh. This edition: Sheet music. Downloadable. Duration 8 minutes. Schott Music - Digital #Q20514. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q20514).

Stimulated by my love of automata, this work for solo oboe takes its name from the invention of Wolfgang von Kempelen, who in the late eighteenth century constructed an extraordinary mechanical man powered by clockwork, dressed in a stylish Turkish costume and capable of playing chess. The chess player turned out to be a fraud but sparked many other thinkers and inventors to pondering what the possibilities of automation might be. In Hesketh’s highly virtuosic work, the through-composed melody is subjected to a series of distortions by pulleys, cams, gears and cranks. There are also the onomatopoeic effects of winding up and whirring noises that add to the air of the mechanical.

Violin - difficult - Digital Download

SKU: S9.Q6379

For solo violin. Composed by Kenneth Hesketh. This edition: Sheet music. Downloadable. Duration 12 minutes. Schott Music - Digital #Q6379. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q6379).

Taking his starting point from 17th century philosopher-poet Cyrano de Bergerac's 'Grandes Plaines du Jour', Hesketh powerfully fuses a huge range of performing and compositional techniques into this 12 minute work for solo violin. Inspired by Bergerac's imaginations of other worlds and utopian societies, the work explores extreme ranges and timbres whilst using techniques such as left hand pizzicato and natural harmonics. Open-fifth material, which is natural to the instrument, is prominent and short duets alternating between arco and pizzicato figures add yet another dimension.

Piano - difficult - Digital Download

SKU: S9.Q19046

For piano solo. Composed by Kenneth Hesketh. This edition: Sheet music. Downloadable. Duration 5 minutes. Schott Music - Digital #Q19046. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q19046).

The title of this work is a reference to the poem Ode to a Nightingale by John Keats. Important images from the poem are freely connected to suggest musical gestures and contours. Such phrases as perilous seas and plaintive anthem placed musically alongside each other give the work a continuity not suggested by the original poem. The topography in the last verse of the poem also finds its way into the work: Past the near meadows, over the still stream, Up the hill-side; and now 'tis buried deep The resulting work therefore utilises an organic and associative musical form, one that is dramatic and often capricious in nature. The work evaporates at its close - at Keats' instigation - through the words Fled is that music:- do I wake or sleep?. Through Magic Casements was written for William Cale on the occasion of his final recital at the Royal College of Music. © 2009 KH.
