John Wells  

First Suite

Duration: 10' 00" Year: 1982
for organ

  • Programme Note

    This work is loosely based on the multi-section Buxtehude prelude, where different materials and textures are put together to form a suite of contrasting short pieces. The melodic motif C-B-G recurs throughout the piece: at the very opening; in the fugue subject; in the pedal line of the Aria and (in inverted form) in the Coda. For the historically minded, the Largamente introduction is a relic from an earlier Organ Sonata which was otherwise discarded.

Four Short Pieces

Duration: 07' 00" Year: 1988
For solo piano

  • Programme Note

    ‘Four Short Pieces’ were commissioned for Allen’s Australian Bicentennial Anthology of piano music, published in 1988 and now long out of print. The details of the first performance are unknown; the first performance I heard was by Anna Klymashivka in Sydney in 1996. The pieces perhaps suggest nature images, but the only one that was a reaction to something specific is the last, which was suggested by watching and hearing a beck in spate (or flooded stream) on the west coast of Scotland

Landscape No. 1. The Dark Sky

Duration: 05' 00" Year: 1983
for solo piano

  • Programme Note

    A piano piece of beyond diploma difficulty. It depicts stormy conditions on the Desert Road which runs through the central North Island of New Zealand, passing through a large, elevated tract of barren land franked by three large mountains. The terrain produces some awe-inspiring displays of nature and the ancient Maori people crossed this land only when absolutely necessary. They called the area “Rangipo” (Dark Sky).
