This short work composed for 175 East’s microscore project in 1999 is scored for a quintet of flute, bass clarinet, bass trombone, cello and double bass – yet it could easily be adapted for any combination.

This short celebratory piece is based on some of the stylistic qualities of John Elmsly’s and Leonie Holmes’ compositions.

Up to about the “golden section” (just over 3/5 of the piece), the pitch material is based on John’s name and uses some of his favourite intervals. The rest of the piece uses pitches from Leonie’s name and some of her favourite gestures as in the sudden fast rhythmic patterns.

The title is doubly significant. It refers not only to the piece itself with its celebratory ‘fanfares’ or ‘calls’ and their colourful resonances which lead the listener into another soundworld but also to the outstanding personal qualities of these two composers. Like most university staff, John and Leonie work industriously beyond the call of duty.

After listening to the 2012 CD of the Karlheinz Company, I realised that in my coloured resonances I had subconsciously used a similar technique found in John Elmsly’s striking work “Ritual Auras”. Such is the nature of serendipity.

This humorous piece could only have been conceived by a slightly warped mind! The title is a play on the 5/8 time signature and on the syncopation and ‘sinking’ theme evidenced throughout the music. Motivic devices such as inversion and retrograde are used extensively. The original version of the work was composed for mandolin and piano and performed in New Zealand in 1962.

This work was written especially for two great friends (and myself): clarinet virtuoso and winner of the 2009 NZSM Concerto Competition, Andrzej Nowicki, and the multi-talented Kylie Nesbit, whose unusual viola-bassoon combination particularly amuses me. The cycles-within-cycles and extreme performance requirements of the piece are directly inspired by Jack Body’s Epicycle string quartet; while the rhythms are inspired by traditional Chinese erhu.

Crisp, quiet bubblings quickly escalate to organised chaos, only to be disconcerted by the trombone. Eventually restraining the woodwinds, the trombone comes to the fore with a slow melodic passage. Reminders of the opening effervescence gradually infect the calm, boiling to a frenzied finish.

“Duggan” was a television police-drama series in which Detective Inspector John Duggan (played by John Bach) was given grisly murder cases to solve, set against the scenic backdrop of New Zealand’s Marlborough Sounds. Gareth Farr composed music for the two pilot episodes in 1997 and 1998, and the 11 one-hour episodes made subsequently.
