of seven movements,
varying greatly in

describes a planet or a

for Sol is built out of
the massive tutti-sound

The piece
reflects the composer's
fascination with the
origins of the universe
and deep space in
general. The title comes
from a theory, formulated
by Pythagoras, that the
cosmos was ruled by the
same laws he had
discovered that govern
the ratios of note
frequencies of the
musical scale.
(‘Harmonia’
in Ancient Greek, which
means scale or tuning
rather than harmony -
Greek music was
monophonic). He also
believed that these
ratios corresponded to
the distances of the six
known planets from the
sun and that the planets
each produced a musical
note which combined to
weave a continuous
heavenly melody (which,
unfortunately, we humans
cannot hear). In this
work, these six notesform
the basis of the sections
MUSIC OF THE SPHERES and
HARMONIA. The pieces
opens with a horn solo
called t = 0, a name
given by some scientists
to the moment of the Big
Bang when time and space
were created, and this is
followed by a depiction
of the BIG BANG itself,
as the entire universe
bursts out from a single
point. A slower section
follows called THE LONELY
PLANET which is a
meditation on the
incredible and unlikely
set of circumstances
which led to the creation
of the Earth as a planet
that can support life,
and the constant search
for other civilisations
elsewhere in the
universe. ASTEROIDS AND
SHOOTING STARS depicts
both the benign and
dangerous objects that
are flying through space
and which constantly
threaten our planet, and
the piece ends with THE
UNKNOWN, leaving in
question whether our
continually expanding
exploration of the
universe will eventually
lead to enlightenment or
destruction.

Written in
1995 as one part of
Lorentzen's 'Suite of
Seven Pieces for organ',
Mercurius is a symbol of
merchants, trade and
thiefs, traditionally
depicted with wings on
his heels, forever
restless, scurrying
about. The music is
divided into sequences of
four, resulting in a
sense of weightlessness
and hurried urgency. The
first complete
performance of 'The
Planets' took place in
1996 and was given by
Jens E. Christensen.

Kaleidoscope will save
you time! Do you spend
hours arranging music for
odd assortments of
instruments? Kaleidoscope
is specially arranged to
suit almost any
instrumental combination
and these varied
ensembles are easy and
enjoyable too. So much
scope for virtually any
combination of
instruments! The series
is successful with
recorders, guitars,

Composer’s
Note:
I composed
The Planets to
be performed during my
tenure as Composer in
Residence at Chetham’s
International Piano
Summer School,
Manchester, in August
2018. Drawing inspiration
from Holst’s Suite of
the same name – a work
of unstoppable importance
– my composition
nevertheless contrasts
conspicuously, both in
its overall scheme (nine
movements instead of
seven) and orientation
(my work takes the Sun as
its point of orientation,
whereas Holst places the
Earth at the centre point
and hence leaves it out
of the musical scheme).
There is, as a
consequence, a sense of
increasing serenity to my
music following the
effervescence of Jupiter,
though there are
reverberations of earlier
themes and moods in the
concluding movement,
Pluto, which nevertheless
ends enigmatically as
befits its distant,
‘cold’ designation.
Pluto was left out of
Holst’s work for good
reason – it had yet to
be discovered – though
Colin Matthews redressed
the situation admirably
in 2000. Whether one
chooses to go along with
Pluto’s unresolved
status, or indeed to
promote it to the
position of ‘full’
planet (amusingly, Pluto
became demoted to dwarf-
planet in 1992) is
perhaps less important
than its potential to
evince a musical spirit
entirely to
itself.
Performanc
e Note:
Movements
may be performed
separately as desired,
though the connections
between musical
characters will of course
be lost in doing so. In
Neptune and Pluto (which
are best performed
attacca) I include
infrequent use of a bell,
pitched at B4. This
denotes the intangibility
of time; it adds a
welcome new colour, as
well as an additional
element for the audience
to ponder on. A standard
hotel receptionist’s
bell was used in the
inaugural performance –
surprisingly resonant,
even in a sizeable
auditorium – though if
this is unavailable the
cellist can play the same
note (or harmonic, if
preferred).

Mercury -
the Roman god of
financial gain, commerce,
travelers, boundaries,
luck, trickery,
merchants, and thieves. A
popular deity in Roman
culture, he was instantly
recognized by his unique
winged shoes (talaria)
and hat (petasos). With
its close proximity to
the sun and faster orbit
than all other planets,
the Romans named this
small celestial body
after the swift-winged
messenger of their
culture. It is not
surprising that in
Holst's major orchestral
suite The Planets that
Mercury utilizes such
light and swift themes.
There is some duality to
the title of the work.
Part of it involves my
impression of what a
playful chase of the
winged messenger sounds
like. The other part is
the opening motif chasing
two themes of Holst
around the rest of the
work. It was only after
developing the first few
ideas that I recognized
some of the commonalities
with some of those same
themes from Holst's
orchestral work. There
are several quotations
from that famous piece by
Holst (notably as both
are stated successively
at mm. 13-20). The idea
of someone having to
chase the Winged
Messenger struck me as a
unique title around which
to craft a work. One of
my core beliefs about
music is that it can be
imbued with meaning by a
composer, and as the
sonic story unfolds an
ensemble, director, and
audience members can draw
out their own meaning
from the experience. Who
exactly is chasing
Mercury? I leave that up
to the wonderfully
creative minds of the
young ladies and
gentlemen who have the
opportunity to bring this
work to life. The
opportunity to compose
music and allow student
musicians to give this
piece new life and draw
out different meanings is
a humbling experience.
Rehearsal Notes and
Suggestions As stated
earlier, the opening
motif (a range of a
seventh) comes back
frequently in the work in
a variety of settings and
textures. Throughout the
work, it is important for
students to recognize the
two themes from Holst
when they are present in
the sound canvas. If the
solos (clarinet and alto
saxophone) are utilized,
the supporting parts
around and underneath
those lines must be
sensitive and play in
such a way to properly
balance those parts.
There are number of muted
sections for the trumpet
section, and I would
advocate for all trumpets
acquiring the same mute
to contribute to unity in
timbre. The bold fanfare
sections (the first
occurs at m. 37) must be
presented with a unified
articulation style. As
the texture intensifies
prior to m. 169, it is
crucial for the ensemble
to play within themselves
and exercise musical
courtesy to allow all
voices to be heard as
they arrive at m. 181. My
thanks in advance for
your support of this
music, and I wish you
well as you and your
ensemble begin Chasing
Mercury!. Mercury

financial gain, commerce,

the work. It was only
after developing the
first few ideas that I
recognized some of the
commonalities with some
of those same themes from
Holst’s orchestral
work. There are several
quotations from that
famous piece by Holst
(notably as both are
stated successively at
mm. 13–20). The
idea of someone having to
chase the Winged
Messenger struck me as a
unique title around which
to craft a work.One of my
core beliefs about music
is that it can be imbued
with meaning by a
composer, and as the
sonic story unfolds an
ensemble, director, and
audience members can draw
out their own meaning
from the experience. Who
exactly is chasing
Mercury? I leave that up
to the wonderfully
creative minds of the
young ladies and
gentlemen who have the
opportunity to bring this
work to life. The
opportunity to compose
music and allow student
musicians to give this
piece new life and draw
out different meanings is
a humbling
experience.Rehearsal
Notes and SuggestionsAs
stated earlier, the
opening motif (a range of
a seventh) comes back
frequently in the work in
a variety of settings and
textures. Throughout the
work, it is important for
students to recognize the
two themes from Holst
when they are present in
the sound canvas. If the
solos (clarinet and alto
saxophone) are utilized,
the supporting parts
around and underneath
those lines must be
sensitive and play in
such a way to properly
balance those parts.
There are number of muted
sections for the trumpet
section, and I would
advocate for all trumpets
acquiring the same mute
to contribute to unity in
timbre. The bold fanfare
sections (the first
occurs at m. 37) must be
presented with a unified
articulation style. As
the texture intensifies
prior to m. 169, it is
crucial for the ensemble
to play within themselves
and exercise musical
courtesy to allow all
voices to be heard as
they arrive at m. 181. My
thanks in advance for
your support of this
music, and I wish you
well as you and your
ensemble begin Chasing
Mercury!

Mercury -
the Roman god of
financial gain, commerce,
travelers, boundaries,
luck, trickery,
merchants, and thieves. A
popular deity in Roman
culture, he was instantly
recognized by his unique
winged shoes (talaria)
and hat (petasos). With
its close proximity to
the sun and faster orbit
than all other planets,
the Romans named this
small celestial body
after the swift-winged
messenger of their
culture. It is not
surprising that in
Holst's major orchestral
suite The Planets that
Mercury utilizes such
light and swift themes.
There is some duality to
the title of the work.
Part of it involves my
impression of what a
playful chase of the
winged messenger sounds
like. The other part is
the opening motif chasing
two themes of Holst
around the rest of the
work. It was only after
developing the first few
ideas that I recognized
some of the commonalities
with some of those same
