Zephyr Not To Dance On The Shoes

for cello and piano

by Steven Jackson Commissioned by the Park Lane Group Young Artists New Year Series 2012

Completed October 2011

Duration ca 10’

Awaiting first performance by Anna Menzies (cello) and Prach Boondiskulchok January 10 2012 at the Purcell Room, London, UK

Programme note:

Zephyr Not To Dance On The Shoes was inspired by a moment during the preparations for the premiere of a recent theatre piece of mine, The Red Knot. The dancer Zhao Zephyr Lhan was to end the piece with a dance on the removed shoes of the chorus members. Her rehearsal was wonderful but there was a problem and I had to insist the loose shoes be swept away before she entered. I vividly remember that moment, making all the stresses, obstacles and sleepless nights immediately worthwhile. That memory has inspired this piece.
