Paweł Łukaszewski: Like As The Waves

Paweł Łukaszewski 's Like As The Waves for SSATBB choir unaccompanied. This vocal work is a setting of Shakespeare 's Sonnet LX. Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore, So do our minutes hasten to their end; Each changing place with that which goes before, In sequent toil all forwards do contend. Nativity, once in the main of light, Crawls to maturity, wherewith being crown'd, Crooked eclipses 'gainst his glory fight, And time, that gave, doth now his gift confound. Time doth transfix the flourish set on youth, And delves the parallels in beauty's brow, Feeds on the rarities of nature's truth, And nothing stands but for his scythe to mow. And yet to times in hope my verse shall stand, Praising thy worth, despite his cruel hand. - William Shakespeare A Piano part is included for rehearsal purposes. Duration: 4 minutes.

De Falla: 2 Spanish Dances From La Vida Breve

Regarded as the greatest Spanish composer of the 20th century, Manuel De Falla (1876-1946) had a distinctively nationalistic style. One of his earliest surviving works, La Vida Breve is a short, 2-act opera written in his local Andalusian dialect, although it was quickly translated into French. Not as popular as his later works, the full opera is rarely performed today, but the orchestral interludes do remain common. Here, the two Dances from its instrumental music have been arranged for solo Piano.

Rolf Wallin: ...though what made it has gone

The text of the piece is taken from the poem Whoever Finds a Horseshoe by the Jewish-Russian poet Osip Mandelstam. The composer has taken the lines directly from the original Russian text that connected most strongly with him, both in terms of meaning and in terms of musically interesting sound combinations.For those who do not understand the Russian language, small fragments of the English translation are heard now and then to give hints of the multifaceted pictures of this fascinating poem. For Mezzo-Soprano and Piano.

Peter Maxwell Davies: Strathclyde Concerto No. 6 (Miniature Score)

The solo flute here is kept in high profile by the absence from the orchestra not only of other flutes, but also of violins and oboes; in addition, the trumpets are used sparingly (they do not, for instance, play in the slow movement), so that for much of the time the flute is playing against a mellow ensemble of clarinets, horns, bassoons and low strings. If this is, nevertheless, one of Davies's most open-spirited pieces, that comes partly from the ready flights of the soloist, partly from its glockenspiel accompaniments in the outer movements (replaced by ticking claves in the Adagio), partly from the dancing character of so much of the music, and partly from the harmonic clarity, in a light region not far from C minor.

Kevin Volans: 1000 Bars (Long Version)

For Violin, Cello and Piano Duet.In the past composers wrote 'pieces' of music. More important pieces were called'works'. Nowadays, however, most composers write minutes. Phone up any professional composer and ask how'r'ya doing? and nine out of ten will say something like: "Terrible/ awful ? I've only written 4 (or ?..) minutes and I have to write ? minutes!"We're all commissioned to write minutes - like so many feet of wallpaper. Imagine this:" We loved your Jupiter Symphony Mr. Mozart, but it's 3 minutes less than we commissioned."Fortunately most composers cheat a bit, and most commissioners don't sit with stopwatches in their hands.1000 bars is not 1000 bars long. I stopped when the piece was finished. However it did turn out to be exactly 4'33" in duration.What the piece itself is about has nothing to do with its title or length. - Kevin Volans

Kaija Saariaho: Sept Papillons For Solo Cello

This work was commissioned by Rudolf Steiner Foundation. It is dedicated to Anssi Karttunen, who gave the first performance in Helsinki on 10th September 2000.Sept papillons was the first piece Saariaho wrote after her opera L'Amour de loin and it was partly written during the rehearsals of the opera in Salzburg. One can sense the desire to find a new world, which has nothing to do with the opera neither in style nor in language. From the metaphors of the opera which all have an eternal quality - love, yearning and death - she moved now to a metaphor of the ephemeral: butterfly. Also, from the long time-spans of the opera she moved to these seven miniatures, which each seem to be studies on a different aspect of fragile and ephemeral movement that has no beginning nor end.

Michael Nyman: The Photography Of Chance (Piano Trio) - Full Version

For Violin, Cello and Piano.Composer's Notes"Even though this work was intended to celebrate (as instructed by the commissioner, Brolly Arts of Salt Lake City) the wildlife and landscape of Utah (and especially its birdlife, notably the sora, which has a noticeable influence on the melodic writing at times), the title refers, ironically in this 'natural' context, to the re-seeing? of (mainly industrial) reality in early Soviet photography. Aleksandr Rodchenko (1881-1956) drew attention to the new type of photographer as someone who photographs 'facts' and who is able, through photography, to fight against 'looking like art' with high quality examples, and to do this you have to experiment, going as far as the ?easelisation? of the photographic art.The work was written for, and first performed by, the Ahn Trio in November 2004, in Salt Lake City, and is dedicated to the memory of John Peel, the British radio disc jockey who died during the final stages of its composition." - Michael Nyman
