Recitative, Mania, Dirge

By Timothy Franklin

Regular price $40.00 Sale

For tenor saxophone and drum, c.10'00

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. 
Composed 2016

Reckoning, The

By Amanda Handel

Regular price $25.00 Sale

Solo piano in three movements, c.16-17'00.  Advanced level of difficulty. Composed 2022

Chosen for the Preliminary Round Recital in the Sydney International Piano Competition 2023 as a new Australian work. Performers are at liberty to choose any two of the three movements to suit the time requirements of the competition.

The mix of dark and dangerous elements with fantasy and beauty is what has made fairy-tales and myths so compelling and enduring as universal teaching tales all over the world. The old tale of The Red Shoes has been told in various versions, in many lands. This is Clara Pinkola Estés' telling and analysis of it in Women Who Run with the Wolves. The composition The Reckoning is a psychic narrative inspired by the tale which may pique our curiosity about human nature and behaviour. 

The music progresses through three main phases, each conjuring a series of shifts in the psychic and emotional states of the story's protagonist as events unfold towards the ultimate reckoning. The red shoes represent any number of universal situations or desires involving acquisitions, ambitions, people, relationships, ventures and adventures ...

Red Dust Settles

By Brennan Keats

Regular price $15.00 Sale

Solo piano, c.2'46

  • Grade: 7
  • Genre: Neo Classical
  • Date: 2010
  • Tempo: Moderately fast and lively, crochet equals 92 but not limited to.  A depiction of Australian dust storms, how they move in, slowly, then with different speeds, leaving an all pervasive layer of inland top soil.  Begin with positive energy, even enthusiasm.  Note how the dust brings dark and forbidding as the music slows, then use accel. to restart the storm to build to the opening pace.  Leave a sense of the damage it has brought and spread to every surface.

    Red Earth

    By Colin Bright

    Regular price $80.00 Sale

    Ensemble for flute, clarinet, violin, cello, piano and percussion, c.8'50

    Red Earth draws on several aspects of Australian aboriginal music and some of the distinctive features of the Australian landscape. It is an attempt to attain something of the 'essence' of the music and its relationship to the land - its manifestation of a sense of 'place'.  It draws on the psyche of place - where we live and how it affects the way we think.
