Phillip Glass - fragment din opera Akhnaten

This piece was commissioned by BBC Radio 4's 'Playing the Skyline' series. Created by me and using an old poem composed in the 1800s, the song gives us an insight into a controversial time in Highland history, when of hundreds of families - in this particular case, from the Strathglass area - were cleared from their land and forced to emigrate.  

The music is still a work in progress…but here it is for a wee listen.  

Thanks to Jo MacDonald for help with Gaelic, to Tom Doorley for his beautiful string arrangements, and to the talented and intuitive musicians: Eamon Doorley (bouzouki), Duncan Chisholm (fiddle/viola), Tony Byrne (guitar), Donald Shaw (accordion), Ewen Vernal (double bass).  Recorded July 2014, Gorbals Sound Glasgow. Engineered by Jimmy Neilsen.

Stravinsky: Firebird Suite -   Finale

Performers: Civic Orchestra of Chicago (Christy Kim – flute, Gordon Daole-Wellman – bass clarinet, Wai Chi Tang – Percussion, Pei-yeh Tsai – piano, Maria Arrua – violin, and Nicky Swett – cello)

Program Notes:
Kindling is a reflection on the spontaneous, yet repetitive motion of fire. From the outset of the piece, the ricochet bowing of the cello and the steady pulse of the kick drum stoke the flame, while the violin flickers and flares in response. As the piece builds, a flurry of tremolos and natural harmonics are used to express motion that is both active and static. Eventually, the ensemble, led by the piano and strings, conjures a steady orange glow with a series of phrases that quickly appear and dissipate. The rapid alternations between these distinct phrases coalesce to form a continuous, burning texture.
