Motete
Auckland Town Hall Concert Chamber
Sunday 16th July at 5pm
Piano Trio in E major, Hob.XV:28 Joseph Haydn (1732-1809)
Piano Trio No. 1 in C minor, Op. 8 Dmitri Shostakovich (1906-1975)
Mōtete Dame Gillian Whitehead (b1943) World Premiere
Piano Trio No. 1 in D minor, Op. 63 Robert Schumann (1810-1856)
Mōtete means, in te reo Māori, fragments, bits and pieces. The piece is based on small ideas, akin to the bagatelles of Beethoven, or maybe the form of the Japanese haiku; small ideas are put together to make a series of four very short pieces, with some recapitulation but very little development. The first takes as its starting point a call of the korimako or bellbird, the second, for strings alone, might suggest the western idea of motet, the third has more energy and the fourth is recapitulatory. Mōtete, written as part of the trio’s 7x7 programme, is received its first performance.
