A
work for solo violin and
orchestra, commissioned
by Donald McDonald for
the 21st birthday of the
Scottish Chamber
Orchestra and the 60th
birthday of the composer.
It was first performed in
November 1993 in Glasgow,
by James Clark and the
Scottish Chamber
Orchestra conducted by
Maxwell Davies. The spell
is one quoted by George
Mackay Brown in his book
An Orkney Tapestry: 'Let
not plough be put to acre
except a fiddle cross
first the furrow.'
Davies's dancing concerto
imagines the fiddler
following a route from
field to field, from
dance to dance,
accompanied by a bunch of
companions in the form of
an orchestra. As the
music goes on, so it gets
brighter and livelier,
moving from the dark
colouring of clarinets,
bassoons and strings to
full ensemble with
prominent brass and
(solo) tuned percussion,
as if the dancers as much
as the fields were
beginning to glow with
new life. Score
(miniature). Duration c.
20mins.

This work
was commissioned by the
Royal Philharmonic
Orchestra to celebrate
its 40th birthday. The
first performance took
place in June 1986 at St.
Magnus' Cathedral,
Kirkwall, as part of the
tenth St. Magnus
Festival. Written for and
first performed by Isaac
Stern, Davies's Violin
Concerto brings together
two streams in his music:
symphonism and
folk-fiddling. In its
strongly developed
substance, it asks to be
measured in the company
of Beethoven, Brahms and
Sibelius, while there is
also, particularly in the
middle movement, a strong
element of the Scots
lament. The orchestra is
generally muted in
colour, though there is a
dramatic role for the
timpanist. There are
three movements, played
without a break - this is
only one of many
connections with the
Mendelssohn Violin
Concerto. Duration c.
30mins.

If Davies's
Cello Concerto has
already evoked
comparisons with Elgar's,
that is perhaps an
indication not only of
its wealth of solo melody
(there is hardly a page
where the cello is not
singing, or if not that,
then dancing), and of its
predominantly slow
tempos, but also of its
musical stature. This
second Strathclyde
concerto is a virtuoso
piece for the entire
ensemble, which is used
almost throughout as a
clutch of soloists rather
than as a tutti block.
The general tone is one
of passionate but
interior dialogue,
especially in the opening
Moderato and the slow
movement; and though the
finale is more extrovert,
the work ends back in
quietness and
rumination.

Auli
s Sallinen (b. 1935) is
one of the most famous
Finnish contemporary
composers. In his early
instrumental works,
Sallinen was still
seeking to establish a
style of his own. He had
studied at the Sibelius
Academy in the late
1950s, first with Aarre
Merikanto - a composer
representing a national
brand of Neoclassicism -
and then with Joonas
Kokkonen, at that time
just transitioning from
Neoclassicism to
dodecaphony. Twelve-tone
music had won fairly
widespread acceptance in
contemporary Finn-ish
music, and Sallinen was
influenced, too. The
Variations are Sallinen's
first real work for the
cello - an instrument
that would later be one
of his favourites, its
warm, deep voice
corres-ponding to his
music's often dark
undercurrent.
The Variations for Cello
and Orchestra, Op. 5 were
composed in 1961-1962 and
premiered in October
1962. The basic motif
consists of a set of
three descending
intervals stated by the
cello at the beginning:
D-D flat-F, C-B-G and B
flat-A-F sharp. Their use
as basic material is a
ref-lection of the
composer's
dodecaphony-oriented
period, and variation of
this material provides
the framework for the
piece.
Variations for Cello and
Orchestra are now
published for the first
time. Available are a
reduction for cello and
piano, study score and
complete performance
material with
orchestra.
