Sheet Music: ScoreThree pieces for piano / Tom Henry.by Tom Henry (2010)
|
Product details
The work was dedicated to my former teacher, the late Australian composer Lawrence Whiffin (1930-2012), on his 80th birthday. The dedication is evident in certain aspects of the work, including the title and inspiriation for the first movement, 'Intermezzo'. The movement references the stylistic lineage from Brahms to Schoenberg that incluided both composers' solo piano works of the late 19th to early 20th century. Lawrence was a student of the composer and conductor, René Leibowitz, who was himself a student of the composer and teacher, Arnold Schoenberg. The second movement, 'Light in Dark', is very different. A series of slow-moving chords, a kind of chorale, gradually unfolds and is embellished by different textures. Harmonically, these resemble jazz chords but are in fact created from a number of 20th century compositional techniques. The final movement,'Toccata', shares its frenetic energy and virtuosity with other notable examples of that form by composers of the past.
