Product Description
Gaelic Faram (Jig
in Kiev) for 2 pianos and 2 percussionists - 15 minutes. SCORE & PARTS
Designed as a companion piece for Bartoks
famous Sonata for 2 pianos and percussion, Gaelic
Faram (Jig in Kiev) was composed for the Kiev Piano Duo (Oleksandra
Zaytseva and Dmytro Tavanets) and percussionists Dmytro Ulyanov and Yevhen
Ulyanov for the final
concert of the Kiev "Chamber Music Session" Festival 2012. Fully revised 2016.
This is
a note-filled, virtuosic piece inspired by British folksong, and includes
adaptations of the Dargason jig and the reel Mary Mack, and starts with an
attempt to capture some of the ornamented and decorated melody lines typical of
Scottish bagpipes.
The
percussion is either designed to be set out in 4 groups that the performers
move between, or if enough percussion is available for each percussionist to
have their own (eg: tubular bells, xylophone, drum kit), then they can be set
out in two groups, as in the pictures below. [In this 2016 revision,
Percussionist II also uses one timp.]
[Also available: Scene from Gaelic Faram (Jig in Kiev) - a new arrangement of a 6-minute scene from the full 15-minute piece,
just for 2 pianos, was made in 2016 for the Australian Piano Duo (Vicky Yang
& Maggie Chen).]
