Performance by Derek Strahan from the CD Processional
Product details
This was begun in 1953 when the composer was at school in Belfast, Northern Ireland, then laid aside to obey dictates to study languages for Cambridge Entrance, and finally revised and completed in 2003. It reflects Strahan's interest then, as now, in using elements of jazz in a formal classical structure. In its final form it includes, as a contrasting episode, a short lyric piece written in London in 1958, titled "Birgitta", after an attractive brunette, which was extended by repetition of the melody with bass and treble lines inverted. The boogie woogie Coda is a recent addition.
