Product Description

The Western Heights

This is a little piece I composed without a specific form in mind. Although its in 3/4 its neither courante nor galliard, waltz nor minuet. It just is. Unusually for me, the chordal accompaniment is written for harpsichord (or any keyboard instrument), in order to get the full arpeggiation not possible on my octave mandola or bouzouki.

The Western Heights, in Dover, used to be a really fun place to go; a barracks inter alia for a French invasion that never quite happened. Miles of tunnels built into a mountainside with rotten drawbridges, very steep stone staircases and plenty of rats. I used to climb inside and spend hours wandering around in the dark stumbling over debris, squeezing through narrow gaps, climbing walls. Its been taken over now by various doers of good and made safe. I think you have to pay to get in. Back in the day one could be Indiana Jones for a while and have a truly great time.
