→ Donna illustre del Lazio (Gesang)
Donna illustre del Lazio This cantata, from an important manuscript in Berlin containing 18 Albinoni cantatas for soprano and continuo, is in effect a praise-song addressed to Isabella Tarquinia Ottoboni, aunt of Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni, the Venetian-born prelate to whom Albinoni dedicated his first opus in 1694. Most probably, this cantata was first performed in […]

→ Infinite sets and double binds (Klavier)
Infinite sets and double binds The title and its vast implications attracted me because it agreed with my intuition, pointing me towards music expressing extreme emotional states. I felt, when writing for the piano, it was essential to explore the maximum contrast of emotional intensity. I held on to this idea when composing, and believe […]
→ Reconstitution mentale du portrait d'un sémaphoriste (Gitarre)
Reconstitution mentale du portrait d'un sémaphoriste Spielpartitur (2 Exemplare). You are trying to remember an image. Only details come back to your mind.

→ Lovebytes (Gemischtes Ensemble)
Lovebytes Lovebytes was composed between June 2002 and May 2003, although the third song is a re-working of part of a setting of Adrian Henri’s Harbour which was first heard in 1987 at a concert celebrating Adrian’s work. All three texts were passed to me by their authors to set, in the reverse order in […]

→ Arachnaphonia (Harfe)
Arachnaphonia The nimble fingers of harpists remind me of spiders weaving their deadly traps! I wrote ‚Arachnaphonia‘ in the Far East as a 16th birthday present for my daughter Hannah, and she gave the first public performance shortly after. It employs some of the extended techniques I had previously experimented with, together with oriental sound […]
