• Instrumentation

• Programme Note

  13 was inspired by the Renaissance art I saw while studying and travelling in Italy in 2009 – 10. I was taken with the bold depictions of martyrs with the attributes of their lives and deaths.

  13 is a set of 13 variations on a theme first presented by the organ. Each variation is based on one of the thirteen present at the Last Supper. The details of their lives are often sketchy, and sometimes sit somewhere between fact and legend. The order is as follows:

  Theme
  Var. I
  St Simon Zealotes – Revolutionary; went to Armenia and Persia; sawn in half.
  Var. II
  St Thomas - Doubted Christ’s wounds; went to India; pierced with lance.
  Var. III
  St Philip – Sober-minded; went to Greece and Phrygia; crucified upside-down.
  Var. IV
  St Bartholomew - Honest; went to Armenia; flayed alive.
  Var. V
  St Jude Thaddeus – Farmer; went to Syria and Armenia; clubbed to death.
  Var. VI
  Judas Escariot – The betrayer; eternally punished; hung himself.
  Var. VII
  St James the Great – Fiery temper; ‘Son of Thunder’; Judaea; beheaded.
  Var. VIII
  St James the Less – Brother of Christ; Jerusalem and went to Egypt; thrown off temple.
  Var. IX
  St Matthew – Tax collector; accompanied by an angel; Ethiopia and Persia; martyr.
  Var. X
  St Andrew - The first-called; went to Ukraine and Black Sea; crucified on saltire.
  Var. XI
  St John – Author of Revelations; ‘Son of Thunder’; went to Asia Minor; died of old-age.
  Var. XII
  St Peter – Holder of the keys to the Gates of Heaven; went to Rome; crucified upside-down.
  Var. XIII
  Apotheosis

a quiet fury

Duration: 10' 00" Year: 2008
for symphony orchestra and live electronics

• Programme Note

  During 2007 I spent a lot of time making field recordings of background noise in Paris, and analysing the spectral and rhythmic content of those recordings. I found the more I listened to my recordings, the more musical material I found hidden in these background hisses and hums, chatterings and otherwise banal noises: rhythms, mysterious melodies, energies and harmonic tensions. While working on this commission for the NZSO, I decided to try to capture the intrinsic musical essences I could hear in my field recordings, and interpret those sounds in an orchestral context, with the juxtaposition of the original noise recordings finding musical relationships in the orchestral counterpart. The resulting piece is a conjuring of various energies, or furies, caught in the background noise of Paris, and finding their way into the back of my throat to be sung into a quiet fury.
