Equali

Duration: 14' 00" Year: 1991
for two cellos

  • Programme Note

    The title “Equali” expresses the idea of sharing between two similar instruments. This happens in a variety of ways in the eight duos, but I was particularly interested in exploring the interweaving and crossing of the two violin lines and the idea of dividing ideas between them. I have always been drawn to the idea of duos, whether for equal or unequal instruments clarinets or keyboard. But the warmth and expressiveness of stringed instruments has a special appeal, which I hope comes across in this set. They also exist in a version for two violins.

Sonatine

Duration: 11' 00" Year: 1998
for two violins

  • Programme Note

    In four movements: I. Gently interweaving figures shared between the two instruments. II. Over a perfect fourth ostinato, a chordal progression in free tonality. III. Varied melody and accompaniment. IV. The ostinato from the second movement is now an augmented fourth; the uneasy motion of this combines with melodic fragments to create a somewhat unsettling effect.
