Yes,
here is a Contemporary Music Centre, Dublin, link for the Festschrift Frank Corcoran . My Seventieth Birthday – An Irish Composer Invents Himself.

Dear Frank,

I have now added the videos and audio excepts from the

‘Different Voices’ page to your profile. You can view your profile

My new little solo cello miniature,  Rhapsodietta Joyceana, uses the tone names in ” James” and “Joyce” to get the fun rolling , its A E Es ( = E flat , of course, in German ) C and Cis ( = C sharp );  5 -tone music to mirror Joyce’s thrilling , lyrical lines, their throb and audacity and springiness and silly impudence, snide slyness, hiding high seriousness.

A tiny tribute . Rhapsodic , being wrapped up in their own 5 – tone play, saying something mighty high. “Joycean”, a much maligned adjective today. Still.

Frank Corcoran’s work Songs of Terror and Love to texts by Jacopone Da Todi for bass voice and Pierrot Ensemble was composed in 2010 in Todi, a delightful little Medieval Italian town not far from the Tiber river.

In addition The Gregg Smith Singers will record Corcoran´s  newest choral score  Eight Haikus for  Choir on 15 March in New York.  Gregg Smith, who will be eighty at the end of the year, has with his Gregg Smith Singers been a legend in American music these last forty years. He and they have worked with Schoenberg, Stravinsky, Eliot Carter and made legendary recordings of new and old choral music.

High octane, high electric ; my works do aim at highest targets, high result, high effects intended.

Take my recent 9 miniature Duets for Cello and Piano ( 2015 ) and their ( legitimate ? ) use of 8 of our greatest Irish Slow Airs ….  Mixolydian, sarabande – derived, A B B A architectural form mostly. Dare I ? Should I?  Touch linear ( and anti-harmonic, anti European )  and ornamented perfection ?

High octane; my cello is a sean nos singer, the piano is my orchestra.  Aim high. Higher.

Morgen Frank!

This weekend at Orvieto ( Teatro Mancinelli ) and Bolsena ( Piccolo Teatro Cavour ) it was high wire acrobatics and high octane music on the piano and viola and cello as my three great Dublin musicians from the N.S.O. of Ireland played for me three of my new Irish Duets , SEAN O DUIBHIR AN GHLEANNA, A MHAIRIN DE BARRA and UNA BHAIN, plus Schubert and Popper and my Viola Variaions and Brahms’s Piano Trio.

Highest standards of playing. Great heat; great music. The high hot shots on bowing and plucking and their keyboard hot, too. Molto speciale. Si.
