Adagio for Cello and Piano

Jack Body  

Aeolian Harp

Duration: 04' 00" Year: 1999
for solo viola

• Programme Note

  This piece was inspired by the beguiling sounds of the aeolian harp to which I was first introduced by Chris Cree Brown. Said to have been first ‘discovered’ by the ancient Greeks, aeolian harps are intended to be played not by human hands, but by the wind. The strings vibrates through a range of harmonics creating an eerie effect difficult to describe.

James Gardner  

Charge

Duration: 01' 00" Year: 1997, r. 2000
for solo violin

• Programme Note

  This short piece was written as a twenty-first birthday present for clarinetist Esther Smaill. The melodic fragment heard at the outset soon skitters over its own unstable surface, mutates into fanfare-like repetitions, is spliced with momentary cantabile inserts, is interrupted by slow motion signposts, and blows itself out in a final burst of energy.
