Angels Flow

Duration: 02' 40" Year: 2011
for pedal harp

  • Programme Note

    Angels Flow was composed for harpist Helen Webby, for her CD of New Zealand harp music, entitled ‘Pluck’. This piece imagines a parallel between the sound of harp music and the movement of spirits, or angels. In some cultures, such as Maori culture, sounds produced by instruments have spiritual properties. Music can tap into a part of the mind that transcends reality, and puts us in touch with imaginary, spiritual worlds. In this piece the flowing movements of the angels are unpredictable and capricious. A gradual modal change through the piece finds rest at the end, as the music descends to the lower register of the harp.

    Angels Flow was premiered in the 2012 Otago Festival of the Arts, and is one of ten works commissioned and recorded by Helen Webby for her CD ‘Pluck’, released by Ode Records (Manu 5144). Helen Webby wishes to acknowledge the generous support of Creative New Zealand, University of Otago and John Egenes, producer. ‘Pluck’ is the first anthology of New Zealand harp music.

Autumn Arabesque

 Year: 2006
for harp

  • Programme Note

    Autumn Arabesque was commissioned by Carolyn Mills following on from the Folk Song Suite I arranged for violin and harp for her. The title does actually reflect the work in that much of the material is in the nature of an Arabesque when one thinks of the two Debussy Arabesques for piano; while the nature of the work has a bitter sweet nostalgic quality which I often associate with Autumn.
