"Experiencing
High Volumes" (2014) triet 6 minutes
Composed for the
Severnside Composers Alliances second "Three is the Magic Number" concerts of
contemporary piano triets at the Lantern, Colston Hall, Bristol in 2014,
performed by Milena Zhivotovskaya, Rob Broomfield and John Pitts.
This is pleasant,
relaxing armchair music, which doesnt actually get particularly loud. I have Francisco Tárrega (1852-1909) to thank for a motif that recurs through
the piece a short section of his "Gran Vals", which you may
recognise. I have omitted the last note
of the original melody, which is actually an octave down from a more familiar
version you may know. Before this motif
made its way into this piece I had considered a title along the lines of Cycle
of Thirds for harmonic reasons which may be obvious. But I put that idea permanently on hold after
trying to get through to a utilities company.
In retrospect, I should have ensured that the end looped neatly back to
the beginning (which sadly it doesnt quite), so that I could attempt to sell a
recording of this piece to businesses for their call waiting music.
