A fairly uninhibited venture into traditional tonal Melodic-Harmonic territory in which the object of the exercise was to please the senses with completely recognisable tonal stimuli, this track is a reworking of f,,,Mmm,m,mmmm a piece I composed originally in 2019. In the current revision I could not resist the impulse to make several 'daring' modulations which may place more of a burden on the listener than was my original intention
I made use in this case of the eMastered online mastering service.

Recapitulations 1 August

This piece is a remix of my piece 'Rondo'  using a wide range of samples and along with the software Noteperformer to get a very different outcome whose divergence from the original astonishes me
Rondo follows fairly closely a classical ABACACABA form, but far from traditional rondos in its harmonic and rhythmic character Rondo uses augmented triads and whole tone scales in an unusual percussive way
The two interspersed episodes (B and C in the pattern I referred to above) are more melodic although still quite dissonant These passages are repeated exactly when they recur but the A section which is easily recognisable by being carried by the strings is subject to development throughout.

Rondo Remix 16 August 2023

This is a fairly complete revision of the original upload of August 2022. It is a jubilant piece that needs to be taken in its own  terms. The musical vocabulary in this piece is very conservartive and it obeys conventional structural norms.

Adagio responding to international events suggests to me the question; 'Is catharsis a valid aim in music today'

Adagio for Our Times (Remix VIII 3 December 2023)

This is a variation of a sort on a musical fragment which appears in the theme music for the TV series 'All Creatures great and Small' and also in the first movement of my Tripartite Fantasy and is constructed as a free flowing set of improvisations on a simple basic idea This simple idea is treated in a linear polyphonic way resulting in a texture which moves between consonant and dissonant harmony ending on a C major chord.
This is an updated revision of the original track using different samples.

which exhibits a certain amount of fizz and sparkle whilst staying

strictly within the confines of common time.
