to the violin concerto by Gyorgy Ligeti. Par ADES THOMAS. In a conversation with the violinist Peter Herresthal, we touched on the “invitation” in the score of Ligeti’s Violin concerto to provide a cadenza for the work. Peter suggested that I answer this invitation and I was happy to accept. I followed all the composer’s directions exactly: the cadenza may use material from all five movements, and should be of “hectic” character throughout. I also aimed to write a cadenza of which the closing orchestral coda would be an inevitable result. (Thomas Adès) The cadenza can also be composed by the soloist and can last up to 1-2 minutes. It should be hectic throughout (continuation of the appassionata agitato molto), but can incorporate melodic material ad lib. from all five movements. Towards the end, the tempo should be prestissimo with alternating arco and left hand pizz. in mad virtuosity. The cadenza has no real end and is suddenly interrupted by the orchestra at R (as agreed between soloist and conductor). This interruption occurs suddenly 'as if unprepared'. The soloist should at this point be playing in high positions (on the top string) at maximum velocity. The solo violin abruptly falls silent on the entry of the high woodblock.

for piano. Par LARCHER THOMAS. One could say that it is very natural to write for a “natural” [as opposed to prepared] piano - yes, maybe, but for me this had not been natural for many years. Exploring new things and sounds sometimes also has to do with not wanting to face the status quo, hiding oneself in a so-called future. In many of my earlier pieces I had fled into preparing the piano, wanting to avoid hearing the natural piano sound, which I knew too well and with which I had lived for forty years. I had always found it extremely difficult to say something personal, maybe even new with this sound. But this time I had to face the piano as such and try to make something interesting.

This version of Thomas Morley's Now Is The Month Of Maying has been beautifully arranged for two part Treble Voices with Piano Accompaniment by Alec Rowley. This spirited and merry piece is most enjoyable to perform.

Thomas Morley (c.1557-1602) was an Elizabethan composer organist and printer and one of the foremost members of the English musical renaissance. He studied under William Byrd and later became organist at St Pauls Cathedral. He almost certainly knew and was associated with William Shakespeare and is one of the few contemporary composers whose settings of Shakespeare’s verse have survived. He is best remembered for his madrigals such as Now Is The Month Of Maying but he also wrote many sacred works undoubtedly for use at St Paul’s.Nolo Mortem Peccatoris is a Latin motet for SATB choir. A Piano reduction is provided foraccompaniment if required.
