I was very much impressed by the skill and creative activity of Javad Javadzade, a young double bass player from Baku, now a principal double bass in the Georgian State Orchestra. For the short period that I know him, he performed five of my compositions, some of which were written specially for him. As a present to him, I decided to compose а sonata for double bass and piano.  I completed the work on 19th January 2018 and dedicated it to him. This is a composition in one movement, about 12 minutes long. I named it “...into the light” because its texture, placed mostly in the low or middle range of the instruments, is coming at the end to the most ethereal and luminous sounds of their register.  The premiere took place on 21st of May in Tbilisi, played by Javad Javadzade and his wife Adel Javadzade (piano). I am grateful to them both for a wonderful performance.

THE LAMB, Op.83 (1995) for counter-tenor and six viols. The poem by William Blake Performers: Michael Chance, counter-tenor, ensemble Fretwork

The text:

William Blake: THE LAMB / Уильям Блейк: АГНЕЦ


Little Lamb who made thee?
Dost you know who made thee?
Gave the life & bid thee feed
By the stream & o'er the mead;
Gave the clothing of delight
Softest clothing wooly bright;
Gave thee such a tender voice,
Making all the vales rejoice:
	Little Lamb who make thee
	Dost thou know who made thee

	Little Lamb I'll tell thee,
	Little Lamb I'll tell thee:
He is called by thy name,
For he calls himself a Lamb:
He is meek & he is mild,
He became a little child:
I a child & thou a lamb,
We are called by his name.
	Little Lamb God bless thee,
	Little Lamb God bless thee.

viola da gamba/harp

Rehearsal for the premiere in March, 2013 at the Muziekgebouw, Amsterdam. Ere Lievonen, Fokker (31-tone) organ; Mikko Perkola, viola da gamba.

The introductory fanfare uses a 9-note scale (3+4+3+4+3+4+3+4+3=31 steps) in the so called Orwell temperament. The toccata is in extended meantone, making much use of septimal and neutral intervals, 1/5-tones, as well as commas that 31EDO tempers out, such as 176/175.

The viola da gamba is tuned as follows: The 7 strings are tuned to the standard A1-D-G-c-e-a-d1 (with meantone fourths). The seven frets are placed so that the pitches on the A strings are as follows: (A) Bb B C C# Cx D# E (= 3-2-3-2-2-3-3 steps of 31), enabling 21 pitches out of 31.
