Peter Maxwell Davies: Sonata For Guitar

The guitar, for Davies, seems to be an updated lute, and like his Elizabethan and Jacobean predecessors, he finds the sound of plucked strings suited both to dancing and to contemplation. The outer movements of this short sonata are quick, the first being in clear ABAB form with a short recitando introduction, the finale being a kind of hobbledehoy galliard. In between comes a slow movement of counterpoint and ornament.Duration c. 11mins.

Peter Maxwell Davies: A Hoy Calendar

Peter Maxwell Davies' 1994 work for unaccompanied SATB choir, using text from George Mackay Brown's 1971 poem A Hoy Calendar.A girdle round the year in five minutes.

Manuel De Falla: Pantomime And Ritual Fire Dance (Score)

The two existing manuscripts (1915 and 1926) of these extracts 'arranged' by Falla himself correspond to the very beginning and end of a long period during which El Amor Brujo can be seen in a series of different states. They demonstrate the care which the composer generally brought to the task of instrumentation, and more particularly the aptness and validity of this piece in his own eyes as chamber music. It is clear that Falla's art of orchestration (and notably his feeling for instrumental idiom) gives his score a profound sense of balance. Score. Piano player reads from full score, string parts available separately.

Esa-Pekka Salonen: Homunculus (Parts)

Homunculus is a short (circa 12 minutes) work for string quartet, which the composer wrote during the Autumn months of 2007 for the Johannes Quartet.He wanted to compose a piece that would be very compact in form and duration, but still contain many different characters and textures. In other words, a little piece that behaves like a big piece.He has long been fascinated (and amused) by the arcane spermists? theory, who held the belief that the sperm was in fact a "little man" (homunculus) that was placed inside a woman for growth into a child. This seemed to them to neatly explain many of the mysteries of conception. It was later pointed out that if the sperm was a homunculus, identical in all but size to an adult, then the homunculus may have sperm of its own. This led to a reductio ad absurdum, with an endless chain of homunculi. This was not necessarily considered by spermists a fatal objection however, as it neatly explained how it was that "in Adam" all had sinned: the whole of humanity was already contained in his loins.He decided to call my piece Homunculus despite the obvious weaknesses of the spermists? thinking, as he found the idea of a perfect little man strangely moving.
