Rachel Stott's Serendipity And Household for Piano Quintet.

Serendipit y And Household Objects grew out of various sound experiments I made together with violin and viola pupils I was teaching at the time. The ideawas to find some extended timbral possibilities of the children’s instruments using only such objects as one might reasonably expect to find around the house a comb or ruler, empty yoghurt pot, cutlery, pieces of paper,chopsticks rather along the lines of the television programme ‘the great egg race’ which I used to enjoy as a child.

The word ‘serendipty’ (‘the happy knack of making unexpected and delightful discoveries by accident’ Cassell Concise Dictionary) describes the way the finding of the sounds led to musical ideas.

A curious point some of the sounds actually work better on basic level children’s instruments than professional quality ones. Don’twaste this piece on a strad…or vice versa. - Rachel Stott

For Viola, Cello & Piano. Composed by Amy Riebs Mills. Chamber Music, String Trio/Quartet/Quintet. Score & Parts. Subito Music Corporation #32040150. Published by Subito Music Corporation (SU.32040150).

From delightful to lonesome to fiery, this three movement suite invites both performers and listeners to share the joy of being enveloped in richness of tone, creating poignant expressions of the heart. Marvelous recital and concert music. Vignette I: Delightful Dance Jaunty rhythms and clever surprises render a joyful opening section. Later, a warm, love filled melody is poured out by each instrumentalist, and climbs to a glorious tutti. Then it is back to the joyful dance, a few more surprises, and a delightfully happy ending. Vignette II: Lonesome Chaconne opens with two dark chords. Then the piano begins the chaconne with a mournful bass line and plaintive off beats. The viola enters and plays a lonesome melody, then is joined by the cello in a melancholy duet over the chaconne until it dies away. The cello's brief recitative emerges from the depths into an aching cry that is then echoed by the viola. Joining together, they pour out a fervent melody, moving higher and higher until they breakthrough to the light. Alas, the vision fades, and they return to only fragments as the chaconne disappears. Vignette III: Fiery Fugue opens with a feisty subject melody, first in the viola, followed by the cello, piano right hand, and left hand. It is similar in form to a Bach fugue, but uses modal tonality and syncopated rhythms. The statements and episodes build to a recall of the fervent melody from the second movement, leading to the final dynamic unison statement of the fugue subject. Just as it almost dies away, it recharges and boldly bounds ahead to the end.
