Fanitullen (the devil's song)

 Year: 2006
for solo violin

  • Programme Note

    Fanitullen was written for the 2007 Michael Hill International Violin Competition. It was partly inspired by Scandinavian folk-fiddle playing and Stravinsky’s Soldier’s Tale. It is said that ‘fanitullen’ (the devil’s tune) was first played by the devil himself who appeared, hooves and all, at a village dance. He grabbed the fiddle and began playing a tune so wonderful that the gathered people continued dancing until they died from exhaustion – and then their corpses continued dancing until their skulls rolled out of the door and down the hill!

Neville Hall  

Kontinuum II

Duration: 13' 00" Year: 1993
for solo violin

  • Programme Note

    “kontinuum 2” is the second in a series of pieces that share compositional techniques and even a small amount of specific material. As with “kontinuum 1”, for saxophone quartet, the notion of “form as a product of growth” was central to the process of composing “kontinuum 2”. A network of interrelated material is evolved from a single cell and it is the subsequent linking, overlapping and extending of this material that generates the piece’s final form.

    “kontinuum 2” was composed for, and is dedicated to, Slovene violinst Branko Brezavscek.
