Armstrong, C: | One Minute, 15 pieces for orchestra ‘One Minute’ is a work composed of 15 one-minute pieces for orchestra, each minute functioning as a self-contained piece. It was commissioned by the Horse Cross Trust for the opening of the new Concert Hall in Perth. Immer (Violin Concerto No. 1) ‘Immer’, his Violin Concerto No. 1, was composed in 2007 for Clio Gould (today principal violin of the London Sinfonietta), with whom Craig Armstrong collaborated when she was artistic director to the Scottish Ensemble. She is regularly involved in the performance of contemporary solo repertoire. In ‘Immer’ Armstrong creates a specific acoustic sonority with techniques found in contemporary music software, using slow loops that phase in and out with one another, creating a blurred tonality, with the solo violin singing above the orchestra - a technique which also has its roots in early music; repetition, canons, fugues etc. Clio Gould (violin) Memory Takes My Hand ‘Memory Takes My Hand’ was a commission from the Glasgow City Council to write a new concert work for the reopening of the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in October 2006. Craig Armstrong collaborated with the playwright Peter Arnott for the words, in this work sung by the British soprano Lucy Crowe. Lucy Crowe (soprano) Apollo Singers |
BBC Symphony Orchestra, Garry Walker “I wanted to find a direct language using tonality but being firmly routed in the 21st century. An abstract defuse way of writing much like the way an abstract painting where the images are blurred. And in this case melodies are hidden and slowly revealed. I have always had a fascination with sonority and orchestration in much a similar way in the way a painter deals with the subtle nuances of colour.” Craig Armstrong |
