Anthony Ritchie  

Brass Quintet

Duration: 12' 00" Year: 1992

  • Instrumentation
    2 trumpets in C; Horn in F; tenor trombone; tuba
  • Programme Note

    Ritchie’s Brass Quintet is dedicated to his father, John Ritchie, and was composed in 1992 for the Canterbury Quintet. Unfortunately this ensemble folded before the work could be performed, and consequently the composer had not heard the work prior to the recording by the NZ Chamber Brass. Ritchie notes that, at the time of composing the work, he was fascinated by the work of several Minimalist composers, this influence being most apparent in the first two movements.

Children and Adults

four songs for soprano, clarinet and piano

  • Programme Note

    Children and Adults was conceived as a song cycle, commissioned by Rosemary Stott for the Klarion Trio in 1992. The different ways that children and adults view the world has been a recurring source of fascination for the composer (who has reared three children of his own). This is encapsulated in these four settings, in which issues such as life, death, survival and creativity emerge as the main themes.
