Composed by Greg Shapley. 20th Century,Contemporary,New Age. Score and parts. 7 pages. Greg Shapley #2043901. Published by Greg Shapley (A0.966356).One in a series of sparkly pieces specially designed for descant (soprano) recorder and piano. Inspired (in part) by Louis Andriessen's use of instrumentation in 'Melodie', 'Three More Notes' is all about rhythmic counterpoint, simple, complimentary, Gamelan-inspired modes and the melding of two, very different, timbres. Post-minimalist in nature, it is challenging but not virtuosic, edgy, but not dissonant. This piece is unusual in two other ways. The pianist mainly uses their right hand (the upper register of the piano goes particularly well with descant recorder), and each instrument is assigned only three notes. This economic use of compositional material yields surprisingly engaging results. Although written for descant (soprano) recorder and piano, this piece can also be played with treble (alto) and tenor recorder.Duration: 3 minutes.
