Notes

On Quietude and Dancing consists of two strongly contrasted core movements – Aria and Troping – which contain all of the materials in the piece. These include ideas referencing electronic dance music, traditional South African bow music, a tiny snippet of Bach (from the Aria of the Goldberg Variations), and various other musical styles and traditions.

The three outer movements respond to these central movements in different ways: Précis simply presents the materials of Troping in a radically truncated form, whilst the two Commentaries revisit different selections of the original materials from both movements in various forms.

On Quietude and Dancing was commissioned by the SAMRO Foundation in 2016, and premiered by Robin Green at the Vale of Glamorgan Festival 2022.
