Bright Silence, for solo violin, is an evocation of Central Otago, the high plateau between the Southern Alps and the coastal plains in the South Island of New Zealand. The area is treeless, rocky, sparsely populated, and the piece reflects the sounds, silences and ghosts of the area.

Bright Silence was written while Gillian Whitehead was composer-in-residence with the Auckland Philharmonia, as the solo violin competition piece for the inaugural Michael Hill World Violin Competition (now the Michael Hill International Violin Competition) held at Queenstown, New Zealand, where it received its first eighteen performances in June 2001. The piece is dedicated to Michael Hill.

for violin and piano

‘Duo’ is a set of variations on the twisting melody introduced by the violin at the beginning. A short ricochet motif soon appears, completely unexpectedly, disrupting the flow of the music. This interjection returns over and over, spurring the work on into the allegro section where it infects the melody and appears as the repeated note motif. Gradually the music accelerates until the new motif is almost as fast as the original ricochet. At this point the ricochet is revealed in its original form and the piece shudders to a grinding halt. ‘Duo’ is the second piece Harris has written for Rolf and Helena, following Wayleggo which was given to them by the composer as a wedding present.

These pieces were derived from certain pages from a French philosopher’s work that I found in the Otago University library, during my year as Mozart Fellow in the School of Humanities there. This and the fact that they were composed during the autumn give the work its title. The realisation of the work involved processes determining pitch (encompassing the whole range of the violin) and rhythm (in quarter and eight notes); although the compositional processes may have been simple, the performance requires considerable virtuosity. Written for violinist Mark Menzies, who gave the first performance at the 09(03) Contemporary Music Festival in Auckland in October 2003.
