Product details
Variation form, one of the very basic structures of so much
Western music, has the inherent qualities of unity and
familiarity while at the same time creativity and inventiveness
can find free range. To take a theme and apply a series of
variations to that theme has been used by countless composers and
has been a means of demonstrating amazing skill in the variation
process. The variation concept is also the basis of ground bass,
passacaglia, chaconne and most jazz music is structured around a
basic pattern of 'theme and variations'.
My fascination with the compositional process used in varying a
theme has led to an exploration of how contemporary Australian
composers deal with this form. All of the composers whose works
appear on the recording treat the traditional 'theme and
variations' in their unique way, incorporating into the form
their own voice and compositional style. Although the collection
of pieces on this recording is not exhaustive of all the works
written by contemporary Australian composers using this medium,
it still demonstrates a variety of methods and styles. Jeanell
Carrigan
