Product details
Ignition is a
dedication to my friend Petr who passed away in May 2017. He
had an energetic personality, was strong willed, mercurial, and
his presence could dominate a room.
He also loved his car: a very noisy, black, 1970s VW
Passat.This piece encapsulates both his
love of driving, racing around the dirt roads of Australia and
his long relaxing drives, as well as his intelligent, engaging,
yet enigmatic character.
All pitch material derived from bell harmonics, relating to the medieval Astronomical Clock (The Prague Orloj) which is close to where Petr was born. Emphasis on the minor 3rd, with the major 3rd in the octave above.
Published by: Australian Music Centre — 1 set of 20 performance parts (140p. -- A4 (portrait))
Difficulty: Advanced — Rhythmically challenging; higher precision required in percussion, brass and woodwind parts.
Duration: 10 mins
