Work Overview
Invocation to Dance is a piece for solo violin. It is
all about sudden and spontaneous passion. It is a fantasy for
solo violin that is rich with melodic intensity. There is
harmonic progression imbedded in the wide-ranging contour of the
single line. It is characterised by sudden sforzando outbursts
followed by lyrical responses. These contrasts evoke the
ambiguity of mixed emotion and combined with the rhythmic
accentuations that ensue, expressive and interpretive dance is
not far away.
The piece was originally inspired by an Aboriginal dance that
took place outside the Sydney Opera House on new years day 2013.
I enjoyed the passion and drama in the way the dancers moved.
