Five Memorial Fragments
Duration: 6 minutes
Opus: 68
Date: 2017
ORIANA
Information
These five fragments, each lasting less than one minute, were written as a direct emotional response to the sudden death of my friend, the composer Peter Reynolds.
Ideas are presented without development or pre-composition with the intention of creating a sense of incompleteness.
Movements I & III should be played with appropriate rubato, movement IV in a flowing tempo and movements II & V should be played, within the suggested tempi, as fast as the performer’s technical abilities allow.
There should be a short pause for contemplation between each fragment.
