Composed by David Woodcock. This edition: pdf, streaming. 21st Century, Classical, Contemporary, Contest, Festival. Full Orchestra. 120 pages. David Woodcock #1388743. Published by David Woodcock (A0.1828952).

This work challenges the audience from a musicological perspective. It resides comfortably in two worlds: that of the diatonic system, which is key-centric and has harmonic parameters, as distinct from the world of chromaticism, which transcends the harmonic boundaries of the diatonic playing field. Combined, these two polarities create an inherent pervading ambiguity.

The work’s structure could be loosely defined as ABA, with A being spikey and frenetic, with powerful rhythmic motifs. The use of accents on the off beats, the use of slurs, staccato and tenuto and syncopation both within and across the bar, all add to the energy that pervades this piece. This energy is enhanced by motifs which are rhythmically augmented. The B section has essentially long melodic legato phrases, which are a counterweight to the opening, and the return of the energy of A. The seemingly innocuous repeated semiquaver ultimately has the final word.

One is left with the impression that diatonic or chromatic, legato or staccato, that syncopation and accents, are all so much a part of the language of music that they are both a unifying and fragmenting force which create inseparable polarities.
