Frank Corcoran

Irish Composer

GOING ON THREE PACKED WEEKS SINCE MY LAST POST

I am pleased.

Festschrift Frank Corcoran will appear soon. Very. Memory lane and archiving against time, forgetting, deadly indifference. Nobody wants to die.

In completing the new Piccolo Quartetto Filarmonico ( – uses also a double bass ) I pit high against low, the metred against the polymetred, the spattered against the tightly controlled. Good disparate stuff has to be – as always- united and heard to generate the different parts until it is all “used up ” .

I was into this of course nearly forty years ago. Tough struggle. Bore fruit in my 1977 PIANO TRIO and WIND QUINTET.

I am pleased.
