5 movements derived from the score I wrote for the Michael Nyman Band in early 2009 as a soundtrack to the film 'Poczatek'. For this project I selectedextracts from classic Polish feature and documentary films of the 50s 60s and 70s and organised them into a sequence of 20 linked one minute 'single theme' films.This version was made specially for the FidelioTrio.  -MichaelNyman (2010)

as performed by Michael Jackson-Beat It is one of Michael Jackson?s most popular songs. Seen by many as a rock song Beat It was ranked by Rolling Stone magazine as one of the ?100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time? due to the notable inclusion of guitarist Eddie van Halen and was also awarded two Grammys for Record of the Year and Best Male Rock Vocal Performance at the 1984 ceremony. Since its release the song has been covered by various artists such as Fall Out Boy Fergie and most recently Anthony Gröger who has made this energetic arrangement for string quartet.

Par JARRELL MICHAEL. Michael Jarrell définit la série abondante des Assonances comme un, 'cahier d'esquisses' où il pourrait exercer son 'droit de se concentrer sur une idée et de s'y sentir libre'. Assonance III pour clarinette basse, violoncelle et piano se situe essentiellement dans le registre grave pour lequel le compositeur ne cache pas une certaine prédilection - la pérennité des sons de la clarinette basse et du violoncelle est assurée par le piano (couvercle ouvert) placé juste derrière les instrumentistes. Ainsi, en amont de l'écriture, ce dispositif acoustique et instrumental, où le silence a sa part, augure déjà de certains procédés présents effectivement dans l'oeuvre. La pièce s'ouvre sur une figure violente de petites notes rapides et disjointes qui presque instantanément viennent se dissoudre dans les résonances du piano - lesquelles donnent l'illusion de notes tenues. Cependant ce processus, maintes fois relancé et varié, se transforme inéluctablement et bientôt fusent des trilles, des notes répétées, des trémolos de grands intervalles dans des jeux en effet, d'assonance. Une sorte de climax* est atteint à la proportion du Nombre d'Or** (en nombre de mesures tout au moins), point culminant dans lequel la clarinette basse entame une cadence irascible qui très vite se propage aux deux autres instruments. Mais peu à peu, transfigurée en une lente respiration, se rappelle à nous la pulsation initiale et les trois instruments semblent trouver ici un repos. La pièce s'achève en un unisson où, dans la mémoire de l'auditeur, résonnent encore ce que l'on pourrait se risquer à nommer des 'métamorphoses du silence'. * Climax: apothéose, sommet. ** La proportion du Nombre d'Or a la propriété d'être égale au rapport des deux parties inégales d'un tout, aussi bien qu'a celui du tout et de sa partie la plus grande. Ce rapport est un peu inférieur à deux tiers. / contemporain / Date parution : 1989-01-01/ Répertoire / Clarinette Basse, Violoncelle et Piano

Dedicated to Thurston Dart Michael Nyman?s professor at King?s College London much of String Quartet No. 1 borrows and is inspired by the works of seventeenth century composer John Bull whosecomplete keyboard works Dart gave Nyman as a birthday present. The other main source of inspiration was Schöneberg?s Second String Quartet from the early 20th century.In his introduction to the piece Nymandescribes his two background ideas when composing the work: first to make an almost ?orchestral? chamber music and second to exorcise the impressive and oppressive history of the String quartet by making his work a compendium ofquotations from the quartet repertoire. Commissioned by the Arditti Quartet and first performed by them in 1985 String Quartet No. 1 has a duration of 25:44 minutes.Michael Nyman is an Englishcomposer of minimalist music pianist librettist and musicologist known for numerous film and his multi-platinum soundtrack album to ?The Piano?. He has additionally written a number of operas six concerti four stringquartets and many other chamber works.

Short Version-For Violin Cello and Piano. Composer's Notes 'Even though this work was intended to celebrate (as instructed by the commissioner Brolly Arts of Salt LakeCity) the wildlife and landscape of Utah (and especially its birdlife notably the sora which has a noticeable influence on the melodic writing at times) the title refers ironically in this 'natural' context to the re-seeing’of (mainly industrial) reality in early Soviet photography. Aleksandr Rodchenko (1881-1956) drew attention to the new type of photographer as someone who photographs 'facts' and who is able through photography to fight against'looking like art' with high quality examples and to do this you have to experiment going as far as the ‘easelisation’ of the photographic art.The work was written for and first performed by the Ahn Trio in November2004 in Salt Lake City and is dedicated to the memory of John Peel the British radio disc jockey who died during the final stages of its composition.' - Michael Nyman
