For Guitar and Cello
Still Life is a celebration of the life and work of the
abstract expressionist artist Clyfford Still (1904-1980). Four of the
movements are musical meditations on Still’s paintings – these are
interspersed with three movements that explore Still’s passion for Jazz,
Beethoven, and William Blake.
The paintings that give their names to movements 1, 3, 5, and 7,
exemplify four tropes in Still’s work – black paintings, blue paintings,
paintings that use a lot of space and emptiness, and paintings that use
areas of highly contrasting bright colours. Consequently, there is a
gradual progression from dark to light in Still Life, suggesting a journey from the depths of despair to transcendence.
The opening movement, Black (for solo cello), reflects the bleak mood of many of Still’s darker paintings. Groove
(for solo guitar) begins halfway through the solo cello movement and,
for a time, each player plays their own music, oblivious of the other.
As Groove continues, the cellist completes Black and starts Blue (the 3rd movement). The guitarist’s music then morphs away from the Groove material and catches the cellist in Blue a few measures later.
