Five Easy Pieces (for String Quartet)
By Michael Hannan
Regular price
$30.00
String Quartet, Grades 3/4, also for more advanced students.
These short works are targeting stringed instrument players who are a couple of years into their studies as performers, and find themselves in a music instruction environment where students are encouraged to form and play in ensembles. The word "easy" is used in the sense that the melodic lines are not difficult intervallically or rhythmically and there are no daunting techniques employed such as harmonics and double stops.

Flying West
By Ann Carr-boyd
Regular price
$50.00
Recorder, cello and harpsichord, c.9'30.
The suite consists of eight short movements based on a poem by Diana Weston, who wrote about a day in the life of a flying doctor working at the Flying Doctor Service in Broken Hill, outback New South Wales. The centrepiece is the calming 'Wings from the Sky', a musical reflection of the welcome sight of the Flying Doctor plane when it appears out of the vast sky, its crew arriving to administer comfort and life-saving help. Composed 2013.

Four Suits of Thirteen
By Vincent Giles
Regular price
$50.00
Chamber quartet for flute, clarinet, violin and cello, c.7'00-9'00
This piece is designed around processes of indeterminacy using cards as the basis for pitch material, each card from A through to Queen represents a different pitch based on a set theory (C=0, C#=1 and so on) while the King represents a wild card. Each movement is quite short and represents a different characteristic of a suit of cards - clubs, diamonds, spades and hearts. Composed 2011

From a Lake of Honey (modified double bass)
By Betty Beath
Regular price
$20.00
This piece was written for Allan Von Schenkel's instrument, the Solo Bass, tuned one fourth higher than the orchestra bass. "I do this", he said, "because it has a colorful solo voice with a wide range and because it removes many of the technical limitations of the bass" and "I read music at the sounding pitch like the cello". From a Lake of Honey is a piece which might 'sing'. It is really a landscape of the mind, a simple musical work, which gives opportunities for an imaginative collaboration between performers and audience as they 'journey' to a 'lake of honey'.
