Description
These six virtuoso compositions were written in 1974 for the London Sinfonietta and commissioned by the Gulbenkian Foundation. They are scored for flute, oboe (and cor anglais), clarinet, bassoon, horn, trumpet and trombone with double bass: the combination of Varèse’s ‘Octandre’.
The slightly ironic title, however, expresses something about the musical structure of the pieces, which in some respects reflects 19th century practice. Each is based on a brief idea which is fairly conventionally extended into symmetric bar structures. Expression results from the tension between these ‘tonal’ forms and the serially-derived structures.
Each piece is a self-contained composition, and each features one or more instruments as soloist. The first and final pieces are the most extended. In the first, the flute predominates together with the double bass in harmonics. The second, most sustained piece, has the solo horn, whilst the third is a slightly sleezy scherzo, low in pitch. The fourth piece is a trumpet solo - later taken up by double bass, and the fifth is heavily syncopated with an oboe and clarinet. The finale is a set of variations in the form of a Rondo with cadenzas for flute and oboe and clarinet.
The Lyric Pieces were first performed by the London Sinfonietta conducted by Gary Bertini in London on 15 November 1974.
