Introduction and Tarantella

By

Matt Westwood The Introduction is based on a keyboard improvisation, with the violin part then written almost entirely in a one-beat canon (or

one beat out of sync). The Tarantella attempts to capture the feelof techno music for acoustic instruments, with fast repeated

notes in the piano, a strong bass line, and an improvisatory violinsolo.

Trio for Alto Flute, Clarinet and PianoBy

Luke Hutton This work maintains a constant and fast-paced pulse with some

less-than-common time signatures. It is slightly jazz-inspired and makesfrequent use of fourths in its harmony. Most of the music is constructedfrom two primary themes: a fast and a slow one, which often appear in

counterpoint to each other.Performed by

By

Matt Westwood This piece depicts a butterfly in many ways. The 3-on-2 cross

rhythms depicts its fluttering, while the simplicity of the melody and harmony depict its simple yet profound beauty. The

performer’s hands also depict a butterfly – the thumbs almostconstantly crossed make the body of the butterfly, while the rest

of the fingers are the butterfly’s wings. The title is also a referenceto Australian composer Elliott Gyger’s celesta concerto Angels

and Insects (which contrasts this piece in almost every way).Perhaps butterflies are the closest thing we have on Earth to a

combination of angels and insects.Performed by

Luke Hutton (Piano)

A Weaned Child

By

David CampbellPsalm 131 is a short musical poem written by King David of

Israel in c. 1000BC, and this arrangement for female voice andpiano reflects some of themes of quiet trust and hope. King

David committed murder and adultery, and yet was called a manafter God’s heart. The largest message is one of humility, and this

holds personal meaning as it was given to me on my baptism. There is nothing superfluous musically, but rather stripped back

to expose the beauty of hope in a Messiah, and being forgiven.Performed by

Laura Fleming (Soprano)David Campbell (Piano)

Tituba

the town’s children, he would do worse to her. The devilappeared to her as many things – a great black dog, a pair of rats,a hog, a wolf, and cats. With other witches, she flew around on

sticks, where the Devil attempted to bribe her with a yellow bird,and other pretty things.

Suppose to

By

David CampbellMusically this piece is an exploration of the tension between 7ths and9ths, which is expressed harmonically, melodically, in modulation and

rhythm. The main motif is contrasted with several modal and/orchromatic themes as the piece gradually transitions from A minor to

Bb minor layered on top. The dialogue draws inspiration fromIsaiah 30:15 “in repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and

trust is your strength, but you would have none of it”. The piece begins

with an expectation of what this is ‘supposed’ to be like, morphing slowly into the unforced rhythms of grace. A little bit like Jesus; a bit

unexpected, a bit upside down, a bit catchy.Dedicated to Harry.

Performed by Taryn Anderson (Clarinet)

Hallucinations

By

the imaginations, chaos, and emotions that one would experience when through hallucinations, and the calmness that comes after.
