Recitative, Mania, Dirge
By Timothy Franklin
Regular price
$40.00
The saxophone is particularly well suited as a solo instrument. In the hands of a skillful player it has a substantial range, and is capable of a wide variety of tone colours, articulations, and dynamic levels. Drums complement the saxophone, a symbiosis evident in the numerous drummer/saxophonist pairings in the jazz world.
This work is an attempt to utilise the tonal resources of both instruments in a modernist context.

Sarabande

This work was written for a single key Baroque flute pitched at A=415. It will work on other flutes (and high saxophones or oboe), but keeping this intended sound world in mind is highly recommended.

Six Pieces
By Timothy Franklin
Regular price
$25.00
Each work is also reminiscent of the music of a particular era, although approached through the composer's own harmonic and rhythmic sensibility. The works complement each other as a set, largely through their shared themes of warmth, sentimentality, whimsy, their complex harmonic language, and a certain dry sense of humour.
Composed 2017

- Perpetuum Mobile, c.5.00

String Quartet 1
By Timothy Franklin
Regular price
$75.00
String Quartet in five movements.
Movement I is the modification to the classical formal structure. It serves as a prelude to the more formally and harmonically complex later movements. Movement II is the start of the ‘classical’ quartet structure – a traditionally brisk opening movement in a minimalist sonata form.
Movement III is a slow movement in ternary form, featuring harmony consisting largely of structures generated using stacked fifths of various types.
Movement IV is a Scherzo featuring a needling chromatic melody that is not quite in the key of F minor.
Movement V is in a form inspired by a certain Beethoven piano sonata in C minor, that of a sonata form with a slow introduction. It utilises an odd meter to convey both aggressive and ‘singing’ material, and synthesises intervallic, polytonal, and modal harmonic approaches.
