Programme
Note Lucky's
Speech was composed at
the request of the
violinist Darragh Morgan,
for the launch of his
recital CD Opera on the
NMC label in June 2006.
The title refers to a
pivotal moment in Samuel
Beckett's play Waiting
for Godot, when the
hitherto silent character
Lucky suddenly pours
forth a torrential stream
of gibberish.
This idea also suggested
the cadenza of my Violin
Concerto, composed in the
same year, and it is
reflected in both cases
by an almost breathless
musical activity
punctuated by pizzicato
commentaries. I should
like to thank Darragh
Morgan for his invaluable
advice in the preparation
of the score.

1. Sidestep
Reel - In 19th
Century America, the
Afro-Celtic fiddle style
was the centerpiece of
many a dance. Reels and
hornpipes were very
popular forms. Their
repetitive, even-metered
rhythms were easy and fun
to dance to, and their
infectious singable
melodies stayed in the
mind and on the tongue.
More adventurous fiddlers
were given to syncopating
on these forms by
accenting off beats and
by embellishing melodies
with oddmetered note
groupings. Syncopation is
a fundamental rhythmic
attitude of jazz and this
movement is a celebration
of that art. The melodic
language is a home-grown
concoction of commonality
between traditional reels
and hornpipes and the
Baroque, Ragtime and the
quartal concepts of
Modern Jazz. 2. As the
Wind Goes - the
wistful late night song
of a lullabye, a campfire
song, a ballad...a
spiritual. It is sung as
if on the wind, yearning
to experience once again
that which will only ever
again live as memory. 3.
Jones’ Jig - the
Irish Jig, the African
6/8 bell pattern, the
shuffle rhythm of jazz
and the drum style of
Elvin Jones all play
around with the
relationship of 3 in the
time-space of 2. The
juxtaposition,
negotiation and
reconciliation of these
opposing rhythmic
perspectives create
interesting musical
relationships all over
the globe. 4. Nicola’s
Strathspey - In the
traditional Strathspey,
improvised
embellishments,
syncopated dotted rhythms
and the use of space
between notes create
expectation, momentum and
surprise. These same
elements and their effect
on the listener are the
same in the blues. It
seems like a natural
marriage. 5. Bye Bye
Breakdown - This is
good ol’, Saturday
night barn dance, hoedown
fiddling. It revels in
the whining cry of open
double stops, in all
types of musical
onomatopoeia from train
sounds to animal calls to
country whistling, and in
the steady 2/4 rhythm
that is as basic as
walking. The harmonic
framework of several
popular fiddle and folk
tunes provide a practical
grid for the cutting of
challenging melodic and
rhythmic figures. It is
designed to tire fiddler
and dancers out. Then we
stomp our way home in
varying states of delight
and disrepair.Solo Violin

“Gor
don Wright was the friend
of a lifetime. For thirty
years Gordon and I shared
our two greatest
passions: music and
Alaska. Gordon was my
musical collaborator, my
next-door neighbor, my
fellow environmentalist
and my camping buddy.
These miniatures are
musical sketches of three
moments and places in our
friendship. Like Alaska,
Gordon was larger than
life. He always lived his
own way. And he died just
as he would have wanted.
We found him lying on the
deck of his cabin in the
Chugach Mountains, curled
up against his favorite
birch tree, looking
across the waters of
Turnagain Arm toward the
Resurrection Valley and
the tiny settlement of
Hope.” - John
Luther Adams
This
music contains no normal
stopped tones. All the
sounds are produced as
natural harmonics or on
open strings. There are
no harmonics higher than
the sixth. So these
sounds should be clear
and resonant. Even so,
balancing the harmonics
with the open strings
requires careful
attention.
The
durations of the
individual pieces are
given at the end of
each.
The total
duration of the set is
about ten minutes.
