Composed by John Pitts. Celtic,Contemporary,Folk,World. Score and parts. 204 pages. Intensely Pleasant Music #3424709. Published by Intensely Pleasant Music (A0.890710).Gaelic Faram (Jig in Kiev) for 2 pianos and 2 percussionists - 15 minutes. SCORE & PARTS
Designed as a companion piece for Bartok’s famous Sonata for 2 pianos and percussion, Gaelic Faram (Jig in Kiev) was composed for the Kiev Piano Duo (Oleksandra Zaytseva and Dmytro Tavanets) and percussionists Dmytro Ulyanov and Yevhen Ulyanov for the final concert of the Kiev "Chamber Music Session" Festival 2012. Fully revised 2016.
This is a note-filled, virtuosic piece inspired by British folksong, and includes adaptations of the Dargason jig and the reel Mary Mack, and starts with an attempt to capture some of the ornamented and decorated melody lines typical of Scottish bagpipes.
The percussion is either designed to be set out in 4 groups that the performers move between, or if enough percussion is available for each percussionist to have their own (eg: tubular bells, xylophone, drum kit), then they can be set out in two groups, as in the pictures below. [In this 2016 revision, Percussionist II also uses one timp.]
[Also available: Scene from Gaelic Faram (Jig in Kiev) - a new arrangement of a 6-minute scene from the full 15-minute piece, just for 2 pianos, was made in 2016 for the Australian Piano Duo (Vicky Yang & Maggie Chen).]
