Her sound is frequently described as 'uncategorisable' and 'genre-defying' and her music has been performed everywhere from the BBC Last Night of the Proms to rock and pop festivals. Tripotage Miniatures is, as the title suggests, about messing about with things (Anna says 'jiggery pokery' is her favourite translation of the French term). Sounds change and stutter and tonal colours drain and become murky. Instruments interrupt and sound like they are trying to trip one another up.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePostludes by Colin Matthews is dedicated to his good friend, the composer Oliver Knussen, who died whilst the piece was being written in 2018. Matthews' says he had Knussen's Cantata for oboe quartet in his mind from the start, and this piece \\u2013 written for oboe quartet plus string quartet - has a poignant, elegiac feel and the atmosphere of after-event with which the title accords.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlexander Goehr's after 'The Waking' is named after a poem by Theodore Roethke, which the composer has previously set to music for two voices. This quintet, performed by the Nash Ensemble, is a fantasia in five movements on material that Goehr explains 'wouldn't let me go' from the earlier work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e01 Anna Meredith_Tripotage Miniatures I Lanolin\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e02 Anna Meredith_Tripotage Miniatures II 40 watt\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e03 Anna Meredith_Tripotage Miniatures III Moth\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e04 Anna Meredith_Tripotage Miniatures IV Buzzard\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e05 Anna Meredith_Tripotage Miniatures V Scrying\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e06 Anna Meredith_Tripotage Miniatures VI Majolica\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e07 Alexander Goehr_after 'The Waking' I\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e08 Alexander Goehr_after 'The Waking' II\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e09 Alexander Goehr_after 'The Waking' III\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e10 Alexander Goehr_after 'The Waking' IV\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e11 Alexander Goehr_after 'The Waking' V\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e12 Colin Matthews_Postludes I Prelude\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e13 Colin Matthews_Postludes II Elegiac Intermezzo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e14 Colin Matthews_Postludes III Barcarolle\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e15 Colin Matthews_Postludes IV Epilogue\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55133055058305,"sku":"1158675","price":16.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/510v5GKWCfL._SL1500.jpg?v=1767040489","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1158675","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
