Heavy Rock Metal Dancer meet the BaroQ Bear, The

By Gina Ismene Chitty

Regular price $40.00 Sale

For piano, harpsichord, drums and cymbals, c.4'00

The BaroQ Bear is a character from the Grunewald (Green Forest) in Berlin of the the early 1700s. He habitually composes preludes, fugues and toccatas in abundance, conjecturing what he perceives as logical, balanced tonal relationships and brilliantly opposing thematic arguments. He time-travels to the twenty-first century and has an encounter with a long-haired young man carrying an electric guitar. He is astounded by the young man’s nonchalant demeanor.

As the young man begins to play rock music on his guitar, the Bear becomes increasingly perturbed by the illogical harmonic nuances in his musical output.
  He seemed to be hammering out the same few notes and making a metallic noise which the BaroQ bear perceived as irritating and tediously wearisome. He speaks to the young man slowly and explains the logic of counterpoint, and a better way to create good music. The two of them play together, each in his own way, and finally, after a lengthy narration from the BaroQ bear, they merge and settle the score in an amicable manner.

      Hebraic Elegy

      By Linda Phillips

      Regular price $35.00 Sale

      Violin and piano, c.9'00.  Professional standard

      This is a virtuosic work for violin and piano. It had never been published previously and on the manuscript, there was no composition date. As its title suggests the work belongs to those composed in a Jewish style in which Phillips established herself as one of the leading composers in Australia in the twentieth century. The work is in ternary form and characterised by an interplay of melodies between the two instruments.

      Edited by Jeanell Carrigan.
      Recorded by Goetz Richter, violin and Jeanell Carrigan, piano on What Secret Hath the Rose? Wirr 120 availble online.

      Here's t' Bill

      By John Terry

      Regular price $25.00 Sale

      Clarinet in Bb and piano, c.3'30, Grade 7

      The piece is full of 'joie de vivre' and a sense of  'the comical'. At times it could even suggest a Punch and Judy situation with its 'comic mystery' effects created by sudden silences and punctuations. Jazz rhythmic and harmonic features often manifest. The clarinet leaps about gymnastically: sometimes dissolving into quasi-cadenza passages. The piano complements with off-beat rhythmic accompanimental utterances and synchronised chordal 'punches'.

      Heroic Elegy

      By Miriam Hyde

      Regular price $250.00 Sale

      For Orchestra, c.8'30-9'00

      The Heroic Elegy is so called because it was written for a friend whose husband, a distinguished Major-General, was killed in a London accident in 1933. It has, in parts, a military suggestion recalling his career. There is a trumpet call, reminiscent of the battlefield, which emerges early in the score after an announcement in unison by four horns above tremolando strings. Quieter interludes in E and F major (in the latter case a flute solo with harp and strings) give a suggestion of hope, or pleading for recovery, but this is swept away by a re-statement in F minor, marked tragicamente, and grief becomes intense.

      Hexagonal Etude Augmentations

      By Gina Ismene Chitty

      Regular price $20.00 Sale

      For solo piano,  c.8'30  Advanced level of difficulty. Composed 2021

      Chosen for the Preliminary Round Recital in the International Piano Competition 2023 as a new Australian work.

      Hexagonal Etude Augmentations opens with octaves and unfolds as approximately eight and a half minutes of unbroken music. There are many motivic ideas, the first, a jagged sparse and forceful opening theme in octaves which is followed by virtuosic passages built upon figural, motivic, rhythmic and technical flourishes that typically existed in nineteenth century etudes. Only fleetingly though, as passages that play on augmented intervals and octaves appear again and again, interspersed with technical innovations of a more contemporary style. The octaves and intervals sometimes dwell around hexagonal note formations, while the climactic cascading semiquavers interspersed with the augmented intervals transform into expressive cluster chords and complex rhythmic structures.

      This is a technically demanding and virtuosic piece that requires precision of touch, a driving energy and vibrance.
