Charge

Duration: 01' 00" Year: 1997, r. 1999
for any member of the oboe family

  • Programme Note

    This short piece was written as a twenty-first birthday present for clarinettist Esther Smaill. The melodic fragment heard at the outset soon skitters over its own unstable surface, mutates into fanfare-like repetitions, is spliced with momentary cantabile inserts, is interrupted by slow motion signposts, and blows itself out in a final burst of energy.

Duet

Duration: 04' 00" Year: 1972

  • Programme Note

    Written in 1972 for my daughter Katherine. She was at the time learning the guitar and I was endeavouring to teach myself the sitar from the Ravi Shankar book.. In attempting to marry the two instruments, the piece inevitably borrows bits from Indian music: the drone, the modal approach and the association of drumming with sitar-playing (though the “drummer” here is the guitarist). It remains however, basically western in concept: it is fully notated, the mode is Messiaen’s mode 2, and the sitarist is required to stop the tonic drone during the middle section of the piece allowing the guitarist to provide three substitute chords – in other words, “modulation”!
