A Feather of Blue

Duration: 09' 00" Year: 2000
for piano trio

  • Programme Note

    Commissioned in 2000 by the NZTrio, A Feather of Blue takes its title from a phrase in a poem called A View From A Window by New Zealand writer Kevin Ireland. I have always admired the wry humour and brightness of Kevin Ireland’s writing and many years ago set three of his poems for soprano and mixed ensemble. As a kind gesture Mr Ireland sent me a copy of his book of poems Skinning A Fish, and I was particularly struck by the imagery of colours, flowers, feathers and birds in this poem, which illustrates rain pouring down a window pane and giving way to a burst of sunshine after a storm.

  • Programme Note

    alla marcia – adv. As a musical direction: in the style of a march. Also as adj., n. (Source: Oxford English Dictionary.)
    Marcia Brady – A character from the 1969-1974 American television series The Brady Bunch. (Source: Wikipedia.)

    General instructions/suggestions include:
    - Gather a dozen or so wind and brass players. Have them memorise this music.
    - The players should walk one by one from off-stage to on-stage.
    - If possible, have them do a complete circuit across the stage, off the other side, through the backstage area, then back onto the stage through the original entry point.
    - I encourage the use of surprising points of entry, e.g. balconies, strange doors, trapdoors, zip lines, time machines.
    - Optional: incorporate the theme tune to The Brady Bunch in Bb major.
