Daniel Stabler  

'faccee'

Duration: 13' 00" Year: 2002
four movement work for english horn and string quintet

• Instrumentation
  cor anglais, 2 violins, viola, cello, double bass
• Programme Note

  ‘faccee’ is composed as a set of loosely related, programmatic movements which portray different moods through the day. ‘faccee’ is intended as a lighter work of chamber music with elements of mystery, humor, charm and satire.

  ‘Dawn’ begins the work slowly, with the darkness and solitude of morning blossoming full fruit into daylight, then relaxing into the day. Movement two, ‘Boogie’, quickens the pace and is akin to experiences while walking the streets of the city. The further one travels, the more activity one encounters until reaching the heart of the city, where a rousing canon surrounds you with people and congested traffic. Then, suddenly, you arrive at your destination and with one last exclamation are in the door.

  ‘Daydream’ is a brief visit into the realm of nostalgia and sentiment, with a pleasant, recurring melody in the english horn and violin. What better for a finale than an old-fashioned ‘galop’ ? This ‘galop’ is, rather, a musical pun on the Viennese version. The ‘Galop’ gives way to the ‘Trio Satirico’ which pokes fun at traditional trios with a duple/triple reconfiguration of 9/8; making for a gawky feel. Then on to the ‘Finale’ where themes from earlier in the day are revisited in a whirlwind finish.

Anthony Ritchie  

3 Pieces for Violin and Guitar

 Year: 1996, r. 2011
for violin and guitar

• Programme Note

  The 3 Pieces for Violin and Guitar were written originally for tenor and guitar, from the cycle called Five Dunedin Songs (1996), based on poems by Bernadette Hall. In 2005 they were re-arranged for viola and guitar, for Donald Maurice and Matthew Marshall, and in 2011 for Duo Tapas. These pieces draw on jazz and folk influences. ‘Song’ is playful, and depicts ‘Stonewoman’, a well-known maternal landmark in Christchurch, while ‘Tomahawk Sonnet’ expresses grief for the death of the poet’s father. ‘Lovesong’ is also grieving, but for lost love, and is jaunty and edgy in tone.

  These arrangements of old fashioned songs belong to a series made for various combinations including voice and piano, piano solo, piano and percussion trio, and chamber ensemble.
