Product details
Winter Ground is a ten-minute work for
solo vibraphone. Belgium based Portuguese percussionist Miguel
Bernat commissioned it with assistance from the Music Fund of the
Australia Council for the Arts. He gave the first performance of
the work in Rotterdam in Holland on a suitably icy night in
January 2000.
The piece was the first I wrote after moving
from Australia to London in 1997 and was completed in January
1998. It is, as the name suggests, based around a repeated
harmonic passage or ground. The piece works out as a series of
variations but I was attracted to the idea of variation-form
serving as guiding principle in a more dramatically structured
and dynamic form. Something I had employed in a work written
shortly before Winter Ground, the Twelve
Variations for piano duet. Winter Ground is quite
contrapuntal and demands high levels of fluency and freedom of
independent stick technique of the performer. The crystalline and
cool sounds of the vibraphone have rich harmonics that create
auras of sound.
