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.

Etude no. 1 - from Duggan

Duration: 01' 00" Year: 1997
for solo marimba

  • Programme Note

    This work was composed whilst Farr was still performing regularly as a marimba soloist, and was taken from Farr’s title theme music of the New Zealand television series “Duggan”. This etude includes contrasting sections that evoke both the tense and dark-hued nature of the television series, as well as the scenic grandeur of the Marlborough Sounds.
