A music-theatre work especially written for Wellington pianist Dan Poynton. Although referring indirectly to religious symbolism, the composition focuses on the physical and mental stress that pianists submit themselves to.

The tension between the piano’s percussive mechanism and the fluidity of water has borne fruit in countless works for piano: from Ravel’s Ondine and Chopin’s Raindrop Prelude, to Schubert’s Am Meer. Not coincidentally, these works were among those played by my grandmother as silent film “scores” in the small New Zealand town of Takaka. In Aquamarine watery fragments from the musical past refract and reflect.

Composed using a style located somewhere between Prokofiev and the neo-classicism of the 1920s and 30s with a little Messiaen and musical quotations thrown in along the way.

These pieces utilise Abelian form, a concept I developed whereby the proportions of a large form were reflected in its constituent parts. A large form, for instance, has sections A, B, C, D, and E, with respective durations t1, t2, t3, t4, t5. A, B, C, D, E also have subsections whose proportions are also t1, t2, t3, t4, t5. We can designate the subsections of A as Aa, Ab, Ac, Ad and Ae, and similarly for the others. The whole process can be shown in the following table: Aa Ab Ac Ad Ae Ba Bb Bc Bd Be Ca Cb Cc Cd Ce Da Db Dc Dd De Ea Eb Ec Ed Ee This looks like a mathematical Abelian Group – hence the name. The durations of subsections symmetrically placed about the leading diagonal (Aa, Bb, Cc, Dd and Ee) are also equal because duration of Ab = duration of Ba, duration of Ac = duration of Ca, etc. This fact led me to use the same material in matching subsections, often mirrored. In PIANO POEMS 1, 4, 8 and 9 I use this form; although the proportions are all equal, the Abelian shape determines the order. 1 Abelian form (3 X 3 matrix) with overlaps 2 a mirror piece 3 a chance piece: the contents of the four different chords and their order and the interruptions by the fist rolls were all determined by chance 4 Abelian form (4 X 4 matrix): all sections are four bars long. Subsection Ab is the mirror of subsection Bb, etc 5 Free form 6 Bogen form: A, B, C, C’, B’, A’, where A’ is the augmentation of A, etc 7 Free variations on a short melody 8 Abelian form (3 X 3 matrix): all repetitions are shortened 9 Abelian form (4 X 4 matrix) using fragments from sections 1 to 8
