I wrote this short duo for my cousin's daughter, Elizabeth, who has recently started studying trombone at Manchester's Chetham's School of Music, with the idea she would have something special of her own to play there.
The title makes reference to the North of the UK, specifically to one of my favourite cities, Manchester, where I spent a lot of time hanging out in the 1980s.
The harmonic style of the work (lots of open major 7ths and movement in 3rds) is taken from that city's most famous band The Smiths, who were a massive musical influence on me as a teenager - and truth be told still are - they are my folk music.
The work is essentially a very tuneful and slightly haunting evocation of melancholy optimism.
J'ai écrit ce court duo pour la fille de ma cousine, Elizabeth, qui a récemment commencé à étudier le trombone à l'école de musique Chetham de Manchester, avec l'idée qu'elle aurait quelque chose de spécial à jouer là -bas.
Le titre fait référence au nord du Royaume-Uni, plus précisément à l'une de mes villes préférées, Manchester, où j'ai passé beaucoup de temps dans les années 1980.
Le style harmonique de l'œuvre (beaucoup de septièmes majeures ouvertes et de mouvement en tierces) est inspiré du groupe le plus célèbre de cette ville, The Smiths, qui ont été une influence musicale majeure pour moi à l'adolescence - et, pour être honnête, le sont toujours - ils sont ma musique folklorique.
L'œuvre est essentiellement une évocation très mélodieuse et légèrement obsédante d'une mélancolie optimiste.
