Songs & Sketches (1971)

Commissioned by the Farnham Festival
Programme Note
Songs and Sketches was commissioned by the Farnham Festival for Kathleen Anderson’s Cello Ensemble. This lively ensemble had players ranging from five-year old beginners on open strings to accomplished grade VIII teenagers. Accordingly my pieces provided for every standard; some movements using everyone, others drawing on smaller groups from within the larger ensemble.
1. Fanfare
2. Whispering Song
3. Czechoslovak Love Song
4. Drone Song for a Computer
5. Canon a 4
6. ‘The world turns on its dark side’
7. Traffic.
A selection of movements can be played, or the suite can be played complete in the order above, perhaps repeating the opening Fanfare as a finale.
