John Psathas  

Fragment

Duration: 04' 00" Year: 2001
for piano duet

  • Programme Note

    This work was originally composed as a piano duet to commemorate the occasion of the retirement of the composer’s first piano teacher, and appropriately is one of the few Psathas’ works suitable for performances by young players. It is a simple and tranquil meditation in which gently pulsing chords provide hushed support to a delicate melody. At the time of its composition, Psathas was engaged in writing his double concerto for percussion, piano and orchestra, View from Olympus, and in mood and musical material, Fragment is related to the second movement of that work. It was first performed by Anne Jago and Dermot Horne in March 2001.

Images from Hubble (Opus 30)

Duration: 18' 00" Year: 2001
for piano

  • Programme Note

    These six pieces for piano should be performed in fairly low light with a slide projector displaying some of the most famous and revealing of Hubble’s photographs. The various movements interpret these images emotionally and symbolically. The music honours both Bach and Chopin – composers whose music, respectively, is considered the most technically proficient and the most poetic, thus recognizing the incredible technical accomplishment of the Hubble space telescope together with its revealing the poetic majesty of our awesome universe.
