” I will move on to the next step. And it’ll be good ” ( Irish poet James Liddy , preparing for death ) .
Wintering out in Hamburg, many flying miles on up above. There’ll be a flurry of choral activity in my 2015. The CELLO CONCERTO premiere is in Dublin in March ; QUASI UNA STORIA for String Orchestra in New York in February. Also new 3 PIECES FOR VIOLIN AND PIANO. Also new 3 MOVEMENTS FOR OBOE QUARTET. Even a new IRISH CHRISTMAS CAROL ( Hayo – Verlag ) . And it’ll be good. New tales spun from these still quite sound entrails, musical form as its own sounding substance or ” content is shape , context, aura, composed audible structure “. Performance then gladdens. – Keep the mystery; keep the filmic. ( – No preaching allowed ) Aurora is busy dawning now, certainly, light like milk spilled for the cats outside mother’s cow-shed so many flying miles ago.
