Strata

Duration: 05' 00" Year: 2011
for solo lever harp with loop pedal

Score Sample
  • Instrumentation
    Could also be performed with several harps
  • Programme Note

    When Helen initially asked me to write her a lever harp piece, one option that arose in discussion was that of using a loop pedal. This created many possibilities for the piece, but also created limits in the way I could use certain material. After the expansive opening, Strata uses multiple layers built up of patterns played over top of each other. The constantly repeating riffs drive the piece, and the melodic material weaves around this, sometimes in sync and sometimes purposely against the underlying patterns. Strata was written while I was Mozart Fellow at the University of Otago in 2011.

  • Instrumentation

  • Programme Note

    J.S. Bach is sitting on your shoulder. He’s been there for a fair while now. And he makes no apologies for his boofy wig, facial powder that quite possibly enters the room more than a moment before he does, or those wonderfully-ornate clothes that these days would, well… actually, probably render a great many gentlemen jealous.

    He goes for a stroll. This bass is not a ‘figured’ bass, thank you very much, it’s a ‘walking’ bass. First stop is a cinema where they are showing a film with a soundtrack by Philip Glass. I think our Baroque man J.S. is inspired to write more chorales at this point. Following a happy hop, skip and jump down the road, however, he stops by a park, where all present are taking in the reggae… and this time he ends up staying a little longer than he had planned to… until it is time to go home via a Fleet-ing performance by a local band.

    This piece is dedicated to someone who on one occasion texted me saying they were ‘walking bach’ to my house. Pun apparently intended.
