Product Description

This First Piano Sonata is in three movements. The work is subtitled 'Bells', as each movement explores a different aspect of ringing bell-tones, whilst avoiding any direct reference to, for example, the change-ringing of church bells, or otherwise. The first movement (Chimes) suggests aspects of sonata form, with a ricochet-rhythm first theme based on fifths, and a lyrical second subject. In the ternary form second movement (Requiescat), funereal bells toll and peal in cycles of textural thickening and thinning. The final movement is a relentless perpetual movement of parallel chords and hemiolas, passing through a giant circle of fifths, in the vague manner of a carillon.
Duration: 24 minutes.
