Eight Monos

By Meta Overman

Regular price $40.00 Sale

Eight pieces for flute and electronic keyboard, c.6'00

This work is ideally performed with any electronic keyboard, even if the Casiotone model is not available due to the rhythmic patterns which are preset, and which continue while the keyboard player is involved playing other material.  If however, an electronic instrument is not available, certain compromises could be made to enable the work to be performed using an acoustic piano.

Eli Zion

By Linda Phillips

Regular price $15.00 Sale

Violin and piano, c.3'00.  Advanced grade (8th)

Eli Zion is the last Jewish liturgical poem in the Ashkenazi collection of kinot (which means a collection of mournful poems) and is customarily sung in a recitative style by the whole community. In this poem the poet turns to Zion, likening her to a woman who has suffered both destructive and redemptive pain. Taken as a whole, the poem is a mournful call out to Zion to lament her tragic destruction. To conjure this mournful call, are the sounds of howling, weeping and sighing.” Phillips wrote this one movement work for violin and piano as a series of statements and refrains, almost like variations on the sung theme.

Fantasy Trio

By Dulcie Holland

Regular price $70.00 Sale

For violin, cello and piano , c.17'00

It is a work in one movement. Within the movement there is a mixture of a standard sonata-allegro form and three distinct movements characterized by different tempi.

The trio is very late romantic in style with occasional glimpses of harmony which could have been used by one of the impressionist composers such as Ravel, Fauré or Debussy. Considering it is such an early work it shows wonderful maturity and great promise for the compositions which would follow.

 Composed 1938

The volume includes a CD performed by Goetz Richter (violin), Minah Choe (cello)  and Jeanell Carrigan (piano).  Fantasy Trio is also recorded on In Tribute (Wirr 105) available online

Festival Flourish

By Dulcie Holland

Regular price $150.00 Sale

For orchestra , c.4'30

It has a little theme which as Holland described came from the rhythm of the words, “Northside Arts Festival, so that it is meant to be characteristic of a festival.

Described as attractive, optimistic, bright and bustling it opens with continuous quavers in the woodwinds and, unusually, the theme played by violas and cellos.

The work is mostly in compound time alternating between 6/8 and 2/4 when the rhythmical motive is presented.

Composed 1965

Piano Miniatures by Australian Composers

Lindley Evans, Frank Hutchens, Mirrie Solomon [Hill], Miriam Hyde, Roy Agnew, Alfred Hill, Hooper Brewster-Jones, Peggy Glanville-Hicks, Josephine Bell, Iris de Cairos-Rego, Esther Kahn

“Faintly shrouded by a gentle mist
The trees within the wood resemble dreams.” (Franz Holford)

In the early 1900s in Australia almost every home contained a piano. A sturdy upright with a metal frame taking pride of place in the parlour and providing hours of entertainment in the form of sing-alongs and musical evenings. Consequently, many songs and a great deal of piano music was composed which could be performed in the home environment, but also many works designed for the concert platform.
On this themed recording there are examples of piano music written by composers who were all born in the nineteenth or very early twentieth century, who lived throughout that century writing music describing their impressions of the world around them. There are works about forests, leafy lanes, mists, and joyful rain. There is a cacophony of bird sounds and just as trees can resemble dreams this music creates dreams and visions.
