John
McCabe's
Pueblo
for solo Double
Bass. Duration: approx. 7
minutes.
Pueblo
is an off-shoot of a
series of compositions
inspired by desert
country, and it was
commissioned by Leon
Bosch with the aid of
funds provided by North
West Arts. The piece is
continous, falling into
several sections, and is
largeley based on the
high circling motif heard
at the start and referred
to again in the harmonics
at the close.
It is
prefaced by the following
quotation from Scenes in
American Deserta by
Reyner Banham, published
by Thames and
Hudson:
'Clouds, high and
flat, were now building
up in thesky, the wind
was settling to silent
calm, the weather was
very cold, and the stream
through the center of the
pueblo was almost frozen
across, the Indians
chipping out ice to melt
down for water.'
The aim in writing
the piece was to express
in musical terms a
response to the vivid
picture of a scene
relating to life in the
American desert conveyed
by Reyner Banham's text.
Although not numbered
among other Desert works,
this belongs to this
family of compositions,
along with another Banham
setting, written for the
King's Singers, Scenes In
America Deserta. -

McCabe's

Composers
Note:
The
title of this work is a
reference to John Donne's
poem A Nocturnal upon St
Lucie's Day, the mood of
which is reflected in the
quintet. It falls into
several movements, played
without a break:
Introduction (Andante),
setting forth the main
thematic ideas of the
music; Nocturne 1
(Allegro vivo), an
agitated, virtuoso,
scherzo-like section; a
tripartite central part
of the work consisting of
two Cadenzasframing a
brief Interlude, the
first Cadenza being
largely for strings, the
second mainly for piano,
and the Interlude harking
back to the feeling of
the Introduction;
Nocturne 2 (Andante
molto), a slow piece
gradually building to a
unison theme on strings
accompanied by a tolling
piano background. This
dies down to lead to an
Epilogue, ending with a
final reference to the
work's opening
bars.

These
Carol-Preludes were
written in 2008, but the
idea was in the
composer's mind for many
years before this.
Essentially, they revive
the old style of the
Chorale- Prelude, but
using carol tunes instead
of hymns or chorales.
They are derived from
German, French and
English melodies - some
of the German tunes were
found in my mother's old
school songbook from her
schooldays in Germany
after the First World
War.

The gap
between starting to learn
an instrument and playing
‘real’ music
is a very great deterrent
to many players.
Consequently,
Afternoons And
Afterwards tries
to tackle this problem
for the Piano, with songs
that are playable even by
musicians with limited
technical ability. The
composer, John
McCabe has written 7
cheerful songs,
representing fun
free-time
activities.
Titles include:
Swans at
Stratford, On
the beach,
Champagne Waltz,
Sports car,
A game of darts,
Forlane and
The Artful
Dodger. These can be
performed separately, in
pairs or alltogether as a
suite. Total duration is
10 minutes 45
seconds.
