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
