Joanna Bates #6080051. Published by Joanna Bates (A0.1033108). Programme Notes - Solo Piano Work In 2006, I was living on the hills which form the border between England and Wales; this is deemed to be an area of special scientific interest where the many wonders of Nature abound. Rhaeadr means 'waterfall' in the Welsh language and my piece is a sound picture of the myriad forms, shapes, stillnesses and polar dynamic forces that waterfalls can evoke; from thundering torrents and sunlit pools to droplets and sprays that spirit into being, white and ghostly mists before our very eyes. The music begins with a â€˜tricklingâ€™ movement from the top of the waterfall and makes itâ€™s way down, crashing into rocks, swerving around them and almost coming to a halt in a shallow, sunlit pool which lies, temporarily, in a plateau. Then, finding a crevice to squeeze through, the water continues itâ€™s unrelenting descent - finally reaching the bottom of the hill and coming to rest in calm liquidity. My thanks go to the pianist, Marija Vrskova at the FAMES studio in Macedonia where Rhaeadr was recorded under my remote direction and mixed and mastered by Laurent KÃ¶pitz and his commendable team. Joanna Bates - June 2020Duration is 3:25 and is suitable for intermediate to advanced pianists.Associations with nature, rivers, flowing, water - anything of this sort, Rhaeadr is a perfect match!
