Accordion Trip 2

This book is a mixture of traditional and contemporary tunes from the Scottish accordionists' repertoire.

It explores the common tune types played in Scotland, i.e. the Jig, reel, strathspey, slow air, waltz, march and polka. Some tunes are arranged in a traditional, dance music style where others have been set with a more contemporary feel as used by the author and many of the ?new age? of Scottish accordionists. Strong emphasis has been placed on the use of the left hand to enhance the style and arrangement.

Ian Lowthian was brought up steeped in the Scottish accordion tradition; he is a graduate of the Royal Academy of Music who, since leaving, has concentrated mainly in traditional music as a performer, teacher and composer. / Musiques du monde / Partition CD / Agrafé /

Six beastly humoresques-Global Animals consists of six witty humoresques each depicting an extraordinary creature.There’s the Australian dancing buck that loves to dance in pairs a down-in-the-dumps Egyptian hippo in a permanent grouse with the world or the dastardly Southern European trill mosquito.The extinct Mongolian striped lion is deeply mourned while the arctic numbskull is so shy that he’s never been spotted. Then there’s the continuous shriek of the Columbian screeching ape that’s hard to miss.

Together Apart/Apart Together for Saxophone Accordion and Double Bass was composed by Karsten Fundal in 2004. Written for and commissioned by Poing. Programme note: This piece is the 3rd in a row of pieces which concentrates on a rhythmical relationship that continues to puzzle me. It is actually two relationships embedded. The 1st is a pattern that is very inspired by the composer Per Nørgård who in the beginning of the 90ies got very preoccupied with the idea that you can have rhythms that never meet. This happens if you start a rhythm like a quintuplet on the beat and one like a triplet off beat. This can with different rhythms give very intricate interwoven patterns that gives the illusion that they are not cyclic. In my case I use the two ratio five to seven in the described way. This rythms have the strange property that if you take each 5th note of the seven and each 7 note of the five you get a ratio almost identical: 49:50. This is very intriguing as you can use the possibility of letting them be equal or the possibility of letting them interfere. In the first case you get an interlocking rhythm which is ?smooth?; an equal rhythmic pattern. In the second case you get a similar situation but where one of them is one short after 50 of the other ones which results in a disturbing almost equality but not quite. Therefore the title: because when I use the unequal rhythm I put the two layers in a similar tone register or a similar way of playing and when I use the equal one I put them a part tone wise speaking. This is a very technical description but it is very hard to put it in more wide terms but you might compare it with driving in a train and looking at two fence rows behind each other: if the poles are placed exactly halfway between each other you will experience an illusion of a fast jump if there is enough distance between them as a result of the perspective. If they are placed in a way that there are almost the same numbers of
