Very Slow Jazz
By Ann Carr-boyd
Regular price
$20.00
This arrangement is taken from the composers's Violin Concerto and appears in a new key and a very slow temp. In performance the work should be played very expressively and with lots of time to linger on the melody and harmonies - in fact, to be played as the title suggests - slowly, expressively and yet with an underlying swing. Composed 2010.
The following is a performance by Victoria Jacono-Gilmovich (violin ) and John Martin (piano)

Way Out...
By Ann Carr-boyd
Regular price
$70.00
Way out... first appeared as a work for 8 violins and piano. The addition of a solo flute to the ensemble of plucked instruments meant that the flute became the inverted sustaining pedal. The opening is based on a chromatic harmonic progression and a halting crotchet and quaver rhythm. The flute then enters with its own singing melody. The middle section has a restrained march-like character, after which the original musical material returns.
Composed 2012
