Y2K Pacemaker

Duration: 03' 00" Year: 1999
fanfare for orchestra

• Programme Note

  Y2k Pacemaker is an attempt to reflect some of the increasingly frenzied apprehension associated with the coming millennium, and more specifically, the “year 2000 computer bug”. Whether computer failures will cause a slight inconvenience or be a major disruption to life seems largely a matter for conjecture. However, I find the escalating alarm (sometimes exacerbated by scaremongers) and often ensuing bizarre reactions a fascinating aspect of our psychological makeup. The main idea behind the work is a measured increase in tempo which culminates in some frenetic activity. The musical texture incorporates ordinary scalic movement and has been derived from a simple octatonic scale. (The computer on which I wrote this work is ‘year 2000 compliant’ !) I would like to thank the Auckland Philharmonia for the opportunity to write “Y2k Pacemaker” and have long admired the orchestra’s commitment to New Zealand music.

fanfare for symphony orchestra

• Programme Note

  The Russian word “Zarya” came to sudden international prominence in late 1998 when the first module of the international space station was launched. Russian for “sunrise”, the word conjures up ideas of the dawning of a new era, and by association, a new millenium.
  
  The fanfare is basically one long crescendo. Beginning softly, as if the pre-dawn twilight, the music progressively gathers energy by gaining in volume and brightness. The point of sunrise is marked by significant harmonic shift. The music can by heard as a positive affirmation of the progress of the past century and of humanity’s relentless quest for knowledge.
  
  Zarya was commissioned by the Auckland Philharmonia as one of their eleven ‘Century Fanfares’ commissioned in 1999 to mark the end of the century.
