Original concert work for piano. In memory of Bill Evans. This rhapsodic contemporary piano solo, was written in memory of Jazz legend Bill Evans. It explores the rich harmonies that can be created on a keyboard and makes use of interesting chord clusters, which were a feature of Evan's playing, rippling figures and extensive flourishes. The final section builds to a climax with a syncopated chordal section, followed by a reuse of early figures which establish a quiet and haunting mood. Lastly, there are three arpeggiated chord flourishes and the whole work ends on an open E major chord, overlaid by a C major triad, which encourages some interested harmonics to come forth from the instrument. Piano solo commissioned by Selma Epstein. 'Margaret Brandman is a very respected Australian composer... We did her ANTICS FOR FLUTE AND PIANO here. She wrote a piece for me to play in New York, SONORITIES. Very avant-garde, but very beautiful.' -Selma Epstein, pianist, scholar, author, publisher, Director Chromattica U.S.A. You can hear a performance of this work by Margaret on her SONORITIES CD. It has also been recorded by Aaron McMillan for the arc of light CD.
