Description
SKU: A0.1248246
Composed by Ross Fiddes. 21st Century,Chamber,Classical,Contemporary. Score. 31 pages. Ross Fiddes #842808. Published by Ross Fiddes (A0.1248246).It was late 2015. "You have written music for our children and for many others, but you’ve never written anything for me” said my bride of (then) 36 years.
Point taken.
Whilst she had inspired me and had been a sounding board for many works, I had never dedicated anything to her. In looking for texts which expressed something of the love and admiration I have for my dear lady, I found some beautiful poems by the late Australian poet, John Shaw Neilson. These express emotions which are romantic, whimsical, allegorical, contemplative and more, providing marvellous inspiration.
Rejecting the idea of narrative song cycle, I decided each song would tell its own story, naming the grouping "Love Stories".
So here is is.
Throughout, the music is treated in ensemble; the piano does not “accompany” but supports whilst charting its own course.
The work was premiered in the 2018 Newcastle Music Festival by Michael Lampard with the composer at the piano.
And the dedicatee gave the performers a huge hug onstage at the conclusion of the work!
