In Procession I use several unorthodox playing techniques on the gamelan. The tunings of pelog and slendro are combined freely throughout; the piano remains tuned as is usual (well-tempered chromatic). The instruments are not dampened, but are left to ring on while subsequent notes are played, giving the effect of clouds of sound. Compositionally as well the piece is not at all conventional, but explores the gamelan in different ways both harmonically and melodically.

In the first movement this is through combining the close intervals between the pelog and slendro modes; in Quartet through step-wise ascending movement; in the fifth movement, a transcription of a short Liszt’s Ave Maria, the gamelan approximates the triadic harmonies of the piano original. The third movement, Melody in Pelog and Slendro, is closest to a traditional Javanese composition, although here the free intermingling of the two modes creates an unusual effect. As well, various instruments are used in atypical ways – the Gong in the first movement struck with an open palm and functioning as a rhythmic marker, or the kempul in the third movement acting as an ostinato; over this rebab and gender elaborate melodic patterns combining the two tunings. The piano is sometimes used as a timbral device (as in the opening movement) and sometimes more in a melodic manner, as in the Finale.

Symphonic Poem: Ritual Dance of the Unappeasable Shadow is a single movement work based on material from the opera At the Hawk’s Well. In some cases there has been extensive reworking, affecting also its construction which follows an arch form with a lively opening and closing.

Symphonic Poem was given a workshop reading by the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by Sir William Southgate in 1994. This event was recorded by Radio New Zealand’s Concert FM. It was also performed by the New Zealand Secondary School’s Symphony Orchestra in 1995 as part of its Auckland Course.

Peter Adams wrote of the work in a review for the Otago Daily Times (August 1, 1994): “Nigel Keay’s Ritual Dance of the Unappeasable Shadow made a powerful impact on first hearing; the dark core of the work had a brooding intensity while the flanking outer sections were vital and colourful with their Indonesian gamelan-inspired sound world.”

Completed as the major work during Martin Lodge’s year as composer in residence with the Auckland Philharmonia, this single movement symphony for large orchestra has been hailed as “a remarkably poised and beautiful work… [containing] some of the most moving and beautiful melodic writing I have heard … Martin Lodge is a single-purposed writer with the true symphonist’s knack of sustaining an idea with economy”. (Ian Dando, Music in New Zealand).

The Viola Concerto proved to be so popular it has now been published as a sonata for players who don’t have an orchestra at their disposal. Senior students and professional players will enjoy this piece. It was released on CD by Kiwi Pacific (SLD-113) in 2006, with Donald Maurice (viola) and Emma Sayers (piano).
