Conversations

for clarinet, viola and cello

Robert Davidson

Program Note
Conversations was composed for Perihelion shortly after returning
from seven months of travel, focusing on musical study in South
India and spending time in Europe and the USA. Perhaps as a result of
the stimulus of this period, I found myself approaching the
composition with a sense of openness, changing from my usual
concern for the unity which results from reduced material. While the
use of material is reduced, it stems from a wide range of sources,
playfully combined. Hymns from my Methodist upbringing, Bach
counterpoint, Sibelius harmony, Beatle tunes, rhythms of Kerala and
countless other musics went into forming, in varying degrees, my
musical intuition as it was in 1993. I attempted to allow this intuition
full rein, believing that music is most successful when it accurately
reflects its composer and his or her background.
Rational structures serve to organise the intuitive material of the
three movements. The first and third movements are simple
ground-bass canons. I am attracted to this form by its neat
combination of repetition and variation, simultaneously defying and
satisfying expectations, and by the way the instruments copy each
other and get beyond their individual concerns. In the second
movement a process of ever-diminishing time intervals articulates a
handful of stretched-out chords, which accompany free
pattern-melodies, swapped between the instruments in
conversational fashion. Surrounding the first and second movements,
and in the postlude, is music of quiet simplicity. Here there is less
concern for rational structure than for communication of emotion,
though not without a certain distance.
