Amistad (the Spanish word for friendship) is a brief set of three pieces for two Flutes composed by Simon Holt in May 2013. It takes its form from the three syllables of the word a-mi-stad. Thefirst piece begins on the note A and the second piece on E (-mi-) and the final movement has four sections of equal length which take the individual letters as their respective starting points; S (Eb/D#) T (B) the return of Aand then D. Simon Holt has won numerous awards throughout his career for his compositions such as the Ivor Novello Classical Award and the British Composer Award. Having collaborated with the London Sinfoniettaand the Nash Ensemble Amistad is one in a long line of expertly composed and musically brilliant works. The piece as a whole is about 6 minutes long.

Score and parts for Simon Holt's Piano Trio: Los Ojos for Piano Violin and Cello.Piano Trio: Los Ojos was first performed on 25th November 2013 in the Amaryllis Fleming ConcertHall at the Royal College of Music London by Johannes Marm?n (Violin) Zo? Saubat (Cello) and Gwenaelle Rouger (Piano).I finished writing Piano trio: Los Ojos in early May 2007. It is approximately13 minutes long and has a three-movement structure of essentially two slow movements separated by a central fast section. The final slow movement is a variation of the opening movement ending with a ?toy? defined by ThomasMace(a contemporary of William Lawes) in his 1676 book Musicke?s Monument as ?a light-Squibbish Thing only fit for Fantastical and Easie-Light-Headed People; and are of any sort of Time?.The Machado poem behindthe piece Los Ojos (the eyes) is about a widower who has locked himself away but after a year begins to wonder about the colour of his beloved?s eyes. He is horrified that he can?t remember. One spring day he leaves the houseand just happens to glimpse a flash of eyes through a window and instantly recalls the colour; ??Como esos!?; ?Like those!?. The three movements have the titles: 1] su memoria y el espejo ?his memory and the mirror?; 2] ?Comoeran? ?How were they??; and 3] ?Como esos! ?Like those!?. - Simon Holt

The work lasts around 12 minutes and is arranged for Boy Treble Voice and Organ. This unique work sees the Organ as an accompaniment and complement to both the narration and singing of theBoy Treble throughout. The words of The Legend Of Melusine written by Holt himself portrays a version of the Melusine myth of European folklore a feminine spirit of the water that turns into aserpent from the waist down. This wonderfully engaging tale is matched by the superb vocal melodies and accompanying Organ work.

Commissioned by The Bath Festival. 'If the idea behind the piece comes from anywhere the 'Disparates' (Follies) of Goya were certainly at the back of my mind when writing. The Goya images are nightmarish and the meaning ofmany is obscure. They are essentially sardonic and include allusions to witchcraft and to bizarre carnival festivities.' Simon Holt.

For Soprano and Chamber Ensemble (Clarinet in A Viola Cello and Double Bass).This extended version of a knot of time was commissioned by Faith Wilson. First performance on 10th OCtober at the CBSO Centre Birmingham by Sarah Leonard (Soprano) and the Birmingham Contemporary Music Group conducted by Richard Baker.''a knot of time' began its life in 1992 as a piece for the Composer's Ensemble for Clarinet Viola Celloand Bass with Mezzo Soprano. It was originally the title of only one setting using the poem 'Cada cancion' by Lorca. The tessitura of the vocal line always seemed generally too low for the music and there were also problems withthe clarinet writing so I changed the mezzo-soprano to soprano. I also felt that I should add more settings for the piece to have more of a life and so was thrilled when Faith Wilson asked me for some music to celebrate her 60thbirthday in 2008. I decided immediately to add two more Lorca settings to this first setting. I wrote 'El grito' and 'El silencio' quite quickly in June 2008. I added 'Aire de Nocturno' in October of the same year but stilldidn't feel that it was complete and so added a brief and rather explosive setting to close in April 2010; 'El puñal en el corazon'. The whole piece will be premiered in October 2010 with the soprano Sarah Leonard and membersof the BCMG eighteen years after the initial response to Lorca's texts.' - Simon Holt
