Polyphony in T major, or Earl Grey’s Fancy
Op19
Composer's note
Written between June 2010 and July 2011, this Bagatelle marks
the end of a seven-year gap in composing for organ. The title
should perhaps
be spelt with a double l, as this piece is based on the nursery
rhyme "Polly put the kettle on". The initial cosy atmosphere
is stirred when some
turbulence brews up. "Sukey take it o- again" is represented
by the more agitated middle section, one might say a "storm
in a teacup".
Who will prevail - Sukey or Polly? After the return of the opening
strains, the aromatic blend of harmonies leaves no doubt!
