Kontinuum I

Duration: 13' 00" Year: 1993

  • Programme Note

    The notion of “form as a product of growth” was central to the process of composing kontinuum 1. A network of interrelated material is evolved from a single cell and it is the subsequent linking, overlapping and extending of this material generates the piece’s thirteen short movements. Thus, rather than seeking contrast, all thirteen movements explore the same ideas, as if viewing the same object from many different angles. It is hoped that each movement has a very clear exterior shape which can be easily apprehended by the listener on first hearing the work. Within this is an interior containing sonic events that are extremely detailed, both in their make up and in their relationships to one another.

Stolen Music

Duration: 09' 00" Year: 1993
for a flute player

  • Programme Note

    This tryptich is comprised of three sections:

    1. This is a transcription of a fife player from Zionville, North Carolina, recorded in 1937 by John Lomax (Library of Congress 837B2). The instrument is an unkeyed wood predecessor of the piccolo. Groundhog is a well-known Appalachian folk song.

    2. In this case, the original performance was on a small pygmy flute which was cut from a piece of cane. The player then burned four stop-holes at the lower ened, plugged that end with a rolled leaf then notched the top end, all in a few minutes. After playing a while, the performer seemed to lose all interest in the flute. The original can be heard on Music of the Ituri Forest , recorded by Colin M. Turnbull and Francis S. Chapman, Folkways LP No. FE4483.

    3. The last melody is from Turkestan, Afghanistan. The foot-tapping accompaniment employed in my piece was originally played on the Zer-Barhali, a type of drum. The original was from an LP issued by Musicaphon BM30 L2003, entitled, The Music of Afghanistan.
