In Tribute
By Dulcie Holland
Regular price
$35.00
Fantasy for violin and piano upon a theme of Hooper Brewster-Jones, c.8'00
It is a fantasy based on a theme by South Australian composer Hooper Brewster-Jones. The theme being the melody in the middle of the piece played by both the violin and the piano, which accompanies the theme with very lush harmony. The work opens in a very dramatic fashion, fanfare–style, and the influence of Richard Strauss or Richard Wagner is fairly obvious in the use of harmonic progressions and the density of harmony used. Alfred Hill, who would have been Holland’s main mentor in 1932 was a fanatical Wagnerite! Composed 1932
The volume includes a CD performed by Goetz Richter (violin) and Jeanell Carrigan (piano) and recorded as In Tribute (Wirr 105) available online

Chamber music by Dulcie Holland
Goetz Richter violin, Minah Choe cello, Jeanell Carrigan piano.
The works on this recording are mainly examples of early works –
some even written before Holland had any formal composition instruction. In Tribute was written in 1932 and despite being such an early work shows great maturity. It is fantasy written in tribute to the South Australian-born composer Hooper Brewster-Jones and based on a short melodic theme that he contributed. The work is for violin and piano, each with a part of equal difficulty, in one movement, and it is assumed that the work was written for inclusion in a composition competition. Holland was very fond of entering in such competitions and had great success with many of her songs and some of her chamber works.
This recording is part of a large project involving a book about the Life and Music of Dulcie Holland and a series of published scores. The title of the CD ‘In Tribute’ is of course the name of one of the works included on the recording but has the double meaning that this CD is made as a tribute to Dulcie Holland whose musical legacy deserves to be rediscovered and honoured.

Incantations
By John Peterson
Regular price
$60.00
10 pieces for piano solo. Advanced level of difficulty
Incantations is a set of ten evocative piano pieces that are intended to be musical representations of a variety of experiences taken from everyday life. While the concept for each piece originated in experiences from my own life, I do feel the essence of these experiences is something common enough to be recognisable, and thus able to be appreciated, by almost everyone.
Why the title ‘Incantations’? An ‘incantation’ is usually understood to be a type of formula that can be either spoken, sung or chanted, and which is intended to have a magical effect on a particular person (or even on particular objects), and it can also be something that is performed during ceremonial rituals or prayers. I think that music, in general, has many of these same qualities: music of all styles and genres can affect us personally in vividly evocative, deeply emotional, and sometimes even in remarkable and unexpected ways and, as such, I feel music can have a type of ‘magical’ or transformative effect upon us as individuals. Thus, for me, these piano pieces have an evocative power much like the inherent power of an incantation. I have also chosen to interpret the word ‘incantation’ as referring to a melody, or a melodic fragment, that is repeated not only in order to enhance its effectiveness, but also to support the generative qualities that enable its mystical powers. Thus, I have grouped these ten disparate pieces under the singular title of ‘Incantations’ because they are all based, in one form or another, on quite small amounts of melodic material that is not only repeated but is also constantly varied and expanded upon within a variety of melodic, harmonic and rhythmic contexts.

Set to the words of the influential Javanese poet, Goenawan Mohamad, a work whose words and music are influenced by 11th century Court Music from Central Java; "Asmaradana" is a song-form reserved for songs whose themes are often heroic, tragic love.
"Nina-Bobok" (Lullaby); both words and music reflect the troubled political turmoil and bloodshed marking the end of President Sukarno's leadership but coexisting with the innocence, beauty and optimism of childhood. The vocal setting of "A Tale Before Sleep" is fey, imaginative and theatrical and the music refers to typical melodic motives frequently heard in gamelan performance.
Composed 1997
