Good work for examinations and recitals by an important British composer. Duration c.6'. AMEB (Australian Syllabus) 2004. Programme notes as follows:Lennox Berkeley was born in 1903 and died in 1989. After reading modern languages at Oxford he had no intention of becoming a composer until he met Ravel in 1926 who encouraged him to study in Paris with Nadia Boulanger. He stayed in Paris until 1932 developing his own musical language. In 1936 after the death of his mother he went to Barcelona for the International Society for Contemporary Music festival where he met Benjamin Britten. The two lived together at Snape in Suffolk for a while until the outbreak ofwar before Berkeley moved back to London to work for the BBC. Here he met his future wife Freda Bernstein. He taught at the Royal Academy of Music in London from 1946 until 1968 where his pupils included Richard Rodney Bennett Nicholas Maw and John Tavener among others. He was knighted in 1974. In early February 1971 I was playing in a concert at St. John's Smith Square London then only relatively recently restored as a superb venue for music. The programme which I believe was being broadcast included Berkeley's Serenade Op.12. It was a work I had always enjoyed playing and was standard string orchestra repertoire at the time. There was initially no platform at St. John's and so the audience sat virtually on top of the performers. So close were they on this occasion that I had to ask for a little more room in order to play. At the end of the piece the orchestra acknowledged the applause and the gentleman who I had all but practically decapitated with my over-enthusiastic playing stood up and took a bow. I had been almost playing in Lennox Berkeley's lap! The opportunity was too good to miss and I wasted little time in introducing myself. Mr Berkeley said that he had been fascinated by my playing and asked me to write to him about a possible commission.This I did on 6 February mentioning that

Dans les archives personnelles de Francis Ponge, on trouve des cahiers de travail, reprenant tout ou partie des poèmes à venir - esquisses, brouillons, extraits de ce qui sera ensuite publié dans ses recueils. Le cahier bois de rose est l'un d'eux - c'est en regard de ces archives mystérieuses pour moi que j'ai ainsi nommé mon cycle d'oeuvres de musique de chambre, s'étalant sur une période de cinq années.Chacune des pièces de ce cycle est construite de la même façon - sont interprétées toutes les esquisses, tentatives de mise en forme, réflexions diverses que j'ai pu noter au fil des mois - et le sujet de chaque oeuvre est un objet concret : ici une étoffe, là une allumette ou une pomme de terre. Je l'écoute, je le regarde, je le note, je l'analyse, j'en appréhende les contours réels, philosophiques et poétiques.La fébrilité musicale des objets que j'ai choisis de subjectiver est telle que la musique flirte souvent avec le silence et le bruit. La forme faite d'esquisses successives nous invite à prendre chaque moment comme s'il fallait s'y arrêter. C'est donc la présence scénique des interprètes, leur manière de donner corps à la forme comme à l'objet qui devient la clé de voûte de l'édifice. La clarté du geste, les déplacements, les respirations font la structure de l'oeuvre.Une pièce a son histoire propre découlant de l'aventure qu'a représentée la composition. J'avais attaqué mon travail autour de l'allumette par une pièce pour contrebasse et orchestre - ma question initiale était alors : qu'est-ce qui ressemble le plus (et le moins) à un son blanc d'orchestre ? le feu que pourrait faire une allumette. Erotique de l'allumette est la réécriture, la critique, le dépliement, le rebond, une péroraison autour de cette pièce initiale.Colin Roche (septembre 2009) / Contrebasse

Because a fine orchestra depends on fine players, Solo Time for Strings emphasizes individual accomplishment, progress, and achievement while preparing young students for participation in a school orchestra. The series teaches reading in conjunction with note learning, enabling students to start playing melodies as soon as possible, and is appropriate for class or individual instruction. The solos assist in a progressive technical development from 'twinkle, twinkle' in Book 1 to music by Vivaldi in Book 5. / Contrebasse
