The title Still Life, whilst being a term borrowed from painting, refers to the two temporal states of the piece, status and motion, which are juxtaposed and superimposed throughout.The static sections often lead into choral-like music, one of the references to Bach in the piece, which was commissioned by the Harper Ensemble for the 250 th anniversary of his death. The other principle reference comes in the trumpet's opening figures which relate to material found in one of Bach's harpsichord concertos.Joe Duddell.
