Fugue and Dance: MMXX
for recorder quartet
About
Written for SATB recorder quartet, Fugue and Dance: MMXX, is a personal response to 2020. An attempt to frame and order the trauma, disjointed and peculiar situation we currently find ourselves in. Fugue has a double meaning; both as the musical form, but also as a pyschological state in which the patient affected seems to be able to perform acts with full awareness but upon recovery has no memory of what they have done. The dance has interspliced and juxtaposed sections, with cross-rhythmic interplay between the different instruments.
Fugue and Dance: MMXX received a highly commended award in the Orpheus Music Composition Competition 2020.
