Un Canard hors de l'eau (A Duck Out of Water) (after Ravel) (2015)
- Chester Music Ltd (World)
Programme Note
Commissioned by Ivana Gavric, previously known as Lyric Pieces.
Homages to Grieg, Janacek, Schubert and Ravel.
Un Canard hors de l'eau (A duck out of water) is an unashamedly flashy piece to finish, inspired by Ravel's Une Barque sur l'Ocean and Alborada. The piece steals many of Ravel's chords and rhythms hook line and sinker, but juxtaposes them in way which I hope sounds both new and old at the same time.

Reviews
"Frances-Hoad’s implicit trust in the expressive power of her melodic invention and harmonic thinking is paramount.”
These enchanting miniature fantasias (Grieg, Janáček, Schubert, Ravel, Mendelssohn and Bartók in Balkan mode are the other composers honoured) are beautifully played by Ivana Gavrić and, as with Katharsis, showcase Frances-Hoad’s range and appeal as a creator."
