This arrangement is based on a previous arrangement of the piece, which I had made for various combination. It was made for my ex-colleague Mary Siew and her band at Shanghai American School, prior to a planned visit there in early 2007.

New Zealand is too young a country to have a true ‘folk’ tradition and much traditional folk music is really variats of earlier British songs, often with local names and places substituted for the originals. In this piece it deals with the seas and the lives of sailors.

My source for some of the folk song arrangements I’ve made is Neil Colquhoun’s collection Songs of a Young Country: New Zealand Folksongs published over thirty years ago.

This cadenza represents part of an attempt to reestablish some of the bravura tradition of the late Baroque, so easily passed over in modern interpretations of the period’s music. A case in point is the 3rd Brandenburg Concerto, which supplies a simple cadence as a stepping-stone between its two movements. On nearly every recording of this piece, one will hear the reverential yet unimaginative error of playing the score exactly as written, with two blunt chords executed with the utmost seriousness, then leading directly on into the next movement. Yet what is called for in style of the period (if not the score itself) is an extended improvisation by the continuo player, more than the few feeble arpeggios that are often heard.

Goss’s cadenza melds some of the muscular, intellectual style of J.S. Bach with other influences from the period, including Frescobaldi, Scarlatti, and a touch of Couperin, blended together with a sensibility and flair borrowed from the approach of Bach’s son Karl Phillip Emmanuel. The overall effect is to evoke the younger Bach in a mischievous mood, alternately eliciting groans and intrigued sighs from an attentive father as the themes of the concerto are whimsically run through a series of transformational episodes. These are in essence private jokes, referring to some of the works like the Well-Tempered Clavier upon which the Bach boys cut their virtuosic teeth.
