Respiro/Simple Ground (1994)
Respiro/Simple Ground was written for the Italian flautist, Alessio Bacci
of the Gruppo Bruno Maderna who commissioned the work with assistance
from the Australia Council for the Arts. It received its first performance
in March 1994 in Switzerland. The rather elegiac and slow moving melody
that is heard twice in the piece stands in contrast to more dense and
chromatic music. Hence, the name Respiro/Simple Ground. On the one hand
the work has music that is essentially simple and is based on a repeated
chord pattern; on the other hand, music that is more unpredictable and
which emerges from and disappears into breathy sighs.
