Par DAVIES TANSY. Nature, Tansy Davies gloriously offbeat concerto for piano and ten instruments from 2012, teems with invention. This 20-minute work was inspired by shamanic rituals and the supernatural, and Davies describes the piano as part moth, part Maenad . There is a feral quality to much of the tumultuous solo writing all hyperactive trills and gutsy bass eruptions, shot through with rare …

Par JOLIVET ANDRE. Andre Jolivet (1905-1974) established his love for composition from a young age. This remained throughout his life, and he held the post of Professor of Composition from 1966-1970 at Paris Conservatoire. Concerto No. 2 for Trumpet was composed in 1955, and remains highly regarded. Jolivet, himself a cellist, wished to explore composition for all instruments and therefore has a c…

(Farewell to Philosophy). Par BRYARS GAVIN. As I have written a number of works for solo instrument or voice with orchestra I welcomed the opportunity to write a concerto for cello and orchestra and especially one which focuses particularly on the instrument’s lyrical qualities. Although the piece is in one continuous movement, and the soloist is playing almost without a break, it nevertheless fal…

Opus 11. Par SCHOENBERG ARNOLD. Arnold Schönberg?s Piano Pieces op. 11 are a milestone in the development of piano music. Schönberg had also already composed other atonal works, but always for voice with sung text. By contrast the Piano Pieces op. 11 are the first instrumental compositions to be written in so-called ?free atonality?. For all its revolutionary explosive power, the cycle is classica…

for Violin and Piano. Par . Zoltán Gárdonyi (1906-1986), a student of Kodály and Hindemith, composed his 2nd sonata for violin and piano in 1937. In 1943, the sonata was performed in Budapest, at the Music Academy, and after the concert, music historian Dénes Bartha published a very appreciative review of the piece in the columns of Pester Lloyd. The article reveals that the sonata then consisted …

Par PART ARVO. Arvo Pärt wrote the prayer of peace 'Da pacem Domine' to fulfil a commission from Jordi Savall. He began to set this ninth-century Gregorian antiphon two days after the Madrid bombings on 11 March 2004 as his personal tribute to the victims. Since then Da pacem Domine has been performed every year in Spain to commemorate the victims of this terrorist attack. Even while originally co…
