Stars Over New Norcia

By Ann Carr-boyd

$25.00 Sale

Guitar and piano, c.7'00
New Norcia is a monastic town in Western Australia founded by two Spanish Benedictine monks and it was here that the composer was inspired to write this piece.  It commences with a fanfare reminiscent of the chapel bells and continues in processional mode - a reflection of continuity and daily repetition of prayers and tasks; reference too to the monks' chant set to Psalm 102.  By contrast the guitar and Spanish music have a strong appearance in the music.  Composed 2012

String Quartet

By John Terry

$140.00 Sale

String Quartet in three movements, c.21'00

The first movement has flowing melodic modal lines alongside dissonant stabbing harmonies.  The second comprises quickly-changing tempi plus instrumental arguments and counter-arguments.  The finale highlights frequent character-changes including playfulness and counterpoint against thick homophonic stabbings.  The cello plays a soloistic role throughout, often in counter-relationship with other players. 
Composed 2012

String Quartet

By Tony Wheeler

$70.00 Sale

Three movements for String Quartet

This work follows somewhat classical principles in its conception and structure. Much of the harmonic and melodic material of all three movements is derived from (i) a twelve note tone row; and (ii) the use of modes. The use of the tone row is not entirely strict, and it frequently appears in almost tonal contexts.
Composed 2015

String Quartet No. 1

By Justin Michael Mckay

$85.00 Sale

String Quartet No. 1 is a post-modern work in five movements, c.22'00

The opening movement is playful and dance-like, with some surprising harmonic shifts. The lyrical second movement, Coiffure, is the original version of what became Coiffure -Serenade for Chamber Orchestra in 2013.  The third movement, the emotional heart of the piece, is an hymn in the Phrygian mode, with overtones of minimalism.  The fourth movement, a quirky but elegant waltz, provides a lighthearted respite before the concluding movement, a prelude and fugue.  Overall, the work maintains a link to the German and Viennese chamber music tradition, with a modern twist.  Composed 2011 and 2013.
