Erik Chisholm: Sonatine Ecossaise [download]

£4.75

For piano. Computer typeset score (19p) saved as pdf for immediate download.

This is an immediately appealing work in which energy, humour and lyricism appear in equal measure. The rhythmic opening of the first movement harnesses some harsh dissonances and contrasts well with the slow florid central section where the influence of Pibroch can be detected. The slow Lament is followed by the last movement which evokes all the excitement and rhythms of a fiddler’s rally.

The styles are emphatically Scottish, yet the originality and craftsmanship of the writing remains unique.
