Drawing Inflorescence
By Diana Blom
Regular price
$25.00
The title and influences for this work come from two sources. First, the exquisitely detailed botanical illustrations y Elizabeth Cooper of the Australian rainforest tree, Stenocarpus sinuatus (Firewheel Tree), with its distinctive wheel-like inflorescences and mature fruits and seeds, shaped the work, the sound gestures and the sustain pedal as ‘sound brush’ colouring specified notes and note groups. The second influence was Deanna Petherbridge’s book, The Primary of Drawing (2010), which explains and illustrates technical drawing terms such as pentimento, grisaille, chiaroscuro, parerga, reverso, ébauche and line itself. Several of these have been drawn into the work. A companion piece for piano and toy piano (one player), Drawing Firewheels, exploressimilar sound concepts. The work was written for pianist, Michael Kieran Harvey, who gave its first performance.

Dream Weaving

Regular price

Piano Duet
Playing piano duets is one of the most intimate ways of making music. Dream Weaving explores this intimacy through crossing hands, exchanged motives and interlocking textures and players are to work out which hand crosses when. Musically the piece moves in a tonal whole-tone sound world to evoke the shifting, ephemeral quality of dreams.

Drive (piano four-hands)
By John Peterson
Regular price
$30.00
For piano four hands, c.4'50. Grade 7
Drive is a rhythmic work whose impetus is derived for the use of almost constant quaver motion within a 13/8 time signature. The relentless quaver figurations give the impression of speed and constant movement, while the often smoothly legato style melodies sometimes form a strong contrast with the rhythm, an effect that suggests security and control in amongst the hectic pace of the music.
