Fragment

 Year: 2005
arranged by Jeremy Fitzsimons for marimba and vibraphone

  • Programme Note

    This short work is an adaptation of a piano duet originally composed in 2001 to commemorate the retirement occasion of the composer’s first piano teacher, Peter Williams. At the time of tis 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.

    This version, for marimba and vibraphone, was arranged by percussionist Jeremy Fitzsimons. Fitzsimons first performed the work with Kristie Ibrahim, together as Double Lateral, in the Illot Theatre, Wellington Town Hall, Wellington, New Zealand on 2 October 2005.

Ukiyo

 Year: 2005
for marimba and vibraphone, with two CD players

  • Programme Note

    Ukiyo – a duo for vibraphone, marimba and with digital audio, was jointly commissioned by Jeremy Fitzsimons and Chamber Music New Zealand, with funding support from Creative New Zealand, for performance by Double Lateral (Jeremy Fitzsimons and Kristie Ibrahim). The work was first performed by Double Lateral at the Ilott Theatre, Wellington, New Zealand, on 2 October 2005.

    Zen monks and haiku poets spoke of life in terms of a transient ‘floating world’ (Ukiyo), or of a dream that vanishes. In the traditional Buddhist view, our corporeal existence is one in which happening gives way to happening, illusion follows illusion, and all is nothing but a phantasm void of substance.
