Hesketh, Kenneth<br />
Les Grandes<br />
Plaines du Jour<br />
for violin solo (2005)<br />
Taking his starting point from 17th century philosopher-poet Cyrano<br />
de Bergerac’s ‘Grandes Plaines du<br />
Jour’, Hesketh powerfully fuses a<br />
huge range of performing and<br />
compositional techniques into this<br />
12 minute work for solo violin.<br />
Inspired by Bergerac’s imaginations<br />
of other worlds and utopian<br />
societies, the work explores<br />
extreme ranges and timbres whilst<br />
using techniques such as left hand<br />
pizzicato and natural harmonics.<br />
Open-fifth material, which is natural<br />
to the instrument, is prominent<br />
and short duets alternating<br />
between arco and pizzicato figures<br />
add yet another dimension.<br />
Grade: very difficult<br />

Watkins, Huw<br />
Fantasy<br />
for viola and piano<br />
‘Opening with an impatient gesture<br />
in the piano immediately answered<br />
by an energetic viola line, the<br />
piano then joins and interrupts’.<br />
This sets the scene for Watkins’<br />
‘Fantasy’, a contemporary work<br />
written in the Baroque tradition,<br />
full of highly contrasting sections.<br />
Expansive sections exploiting the<br />
viola’s lyrical qualities are skilfully<br />
juxtaposed, often abruptly, with<br />
new but related ideas. The work<br />
was written for, and inspired by,<br />
the internationally acclaimed<br />
viola-player, Lawrence Power.<br />
