Descripción de la:
Peter Dickinson wrote two works specially for David Munrow to perform and worked closely with him. Translations, for recorder, viola da gamba and harpsichord, dates from 1971, and Recorder Music, a virtuoso solo piece, from 1973. Munrow gave many performances of both pieces, and Recorder Music was included in The Art of the Recorder (EMI Records). A Memory of David Munrow was written for a BBC concert in Manchester at which Munrow was due to play, but he died tragically several months earlier. Thus the music is not a celebration of what he stood for, which might be appropriate now, but an elegy under the impact of shock.
The separate parts of A Memory are completely notated but they interact flexibly, cueing each other in and out. The two counter-tenors have a wordless lament, staggering their breathing. The separate independent layers of the work are examples on a small scale of the approach found in Dickinson's Piano Concerto (Proms 1986), written for Howard Shelley, and other pieces since the early 1970s.
