Acknowledgements

I would like to convey my gratitude to my supervisor, Prof. Hans Roosenschoon, for his

critical and stimulating guidance and encouragement throughout the duration of this

project. I would also like to thank Dr. Robert Fokkens (UK) for his notes on my string

quartet as well as Mark Troop, Jonathan Truscott and Benn Hess of the Chamber Music

Company (UK) and Dr. Hannes Taljaard (North West University, Potchefstroom) for

their comments on the string trio versions of Glasblaser and Glasprater. I would also

like to thank Hanli Stapela (Tshwane University of Technology/University of Pretoria)

for her comments on my writing for voice.

Finally, I would like to thank my friends and family, especially my parents Johnny and

Sonja, for their unflinching faith in my abilities and their continual support and

encouragement.

A note on my notation of string parts

String harmonics were notated on sounding pitch in the score, with realisations, where

needed, appearing as a reference above or beneath the stave. Solid slurs in string parts

indicate phrasing. Where specific bowing is indicated, dotted slurs are used to

distinguish it from the phrasing indications. The exception to this is the string trio

arrangements of Glasblaser and Glasprater, where solid slurs indicate bowing.

In Paradisum for SATB choir

This piece explores the notion of “paradise” being a token of joy as well as fear and

uncertainty. The road to paradise may be paved with pain and anxiety and the joy of

paradise may lie in the retreat to a state of unconsciousness, rather than the popular idea

of elaborate feasts and gold-paved streets.

The words are as follows:

In paradisum deducant te Angeli; in tuo adventu suscipiant te martyres, et perducant te in civitatem

sanctam Ierusalem. Chorus angelorum te suscipiat, et cum Lazaro quondam paupere æternam habeas

requiem.

May angels lead you into Paradise; upon your arrival, may the martyrs receive you and lead you to the holy

city of Jerusalem. May the ranks of angels receive you, and with Lazarus, the poor man, may you have

eternal rest.

(In Paradisum, 2008: online)

Droom – A song cycle for mezzo soprano and piano

The text represents a nonsensical dream sequence. The music becomes more abstract as

the dreamer moves into the deeper stages of the sleeping cycle and the dreams become

more vivid, eventually revealing its meaning in the words “ek het my wonde aan jou

woorde bly tel” (I kept measuring my wounds to the effect of your words).

Unity in the work is created by the use of a single octatonic scale in the vocal line

throughout (although enharmonic equivalents were employed where needed):

The accompaniment consists of conventional chords in unconventional progressions and

combinations, with more added notes in the accompaniment of each song signifying my

aspiration to abstraction.

String trio and soprano arrangements were created for a performance by the Chamber

Music Company (UK) and the soprano Hanli Stapela. The endings of the voice and

piano versions of Kuspad and Glasblaser were changed in hindsight to create a more

balanced effect in the cycle as a whole – these changes had not been made by the time the

string trio version of Glasblaser had been performed and I have therefore left the string

trio score of Glasblaser unchanged.

The text, by Lou-Ann Stone, is as follows:

Kuspad

Op die rug

van ‘n swart kameel

jaag ons windvlae na

met wit lappe, flitslig,

bedags die ontsaglike son.

Geanker in net die wind

se rustelose rondwaai.

Sy

Die stoepkamer

se lig brand,

haar hare vleg

vanself

en soms knip sy haar oë

met ‘n stomp skêr

wanneer niemand kyk nie.

Glasblaser

fakkels in die tuin

sonder gras, net glas:

geblaas deur my binneste,

swel en bars na my buitenste

Glasprater

Die fakkels

in jou hande

bly brand soos

glas in jou mond:

ek het my wonde

aan jou woorde bly tel.

(Stone, 2008)

with white cloths, torch light,

during the day the imposing sun.

Anchored in just the wind’s

restless jerking.

She

The porch room’s

light is on,

her hair braids

by itself

and sometimes she blinks, cutting her eyes

with blunt scissors

when no one is looking.

torches in the garden

without grass, just glass:

blown from within myself,

swells and bursts to my exterior

The torches

in your hands

keep burning like

glass in your mouth:

I kept measuring my wounds

to the effect of your words.

(The English translations are by the composer and have been approved by the poet.)

Het Hom! for tenor saxophone

This piece is an account of three different stages of my life. Each stage is represented by

a different hexachord, gradually moving from one into the next. When in a new stage,

the new hexachord may have some pitches in common with the previous one (or the next,

or both), signifying characteristics (or unresolved issues) that have remained.

The title Het Hom! (Got Him!) nostalgically refers to the childhood game of “catch” or

to the continuous aspiration to a higher level of personal growth.

The hexachords are as follows (although enharmonic equivalents were employed where

needed):

The Beauty in Sorrow for string quartet

The three movements of this string quartet are based on three paintings by Vladimir

Tretchikoff. Tretchikoff (who was born in Petropavlovsk, Russia, in 1913 and died in

Cape Town in 2006) is said to be “the only artist who managed to achieve ubiquity

amongst the popular masses” (2010: online). The following quote from the official

Tretchikoff website (2010: online), represents an artistic philosophy which the present

writer is always striving towards, although it’s not necessarily achieved in this work:

Unbeknown to many, Tretchikoff was the first artist to make and sell reproductions of his work, making it

affordable and accessible to all. At the time, art critics objected, saying he was devaluing and

commercialising art. To which he responded, "Why should my art only be available to the rich and famous?

I want everyone to enjoy my art."

This string quartet is based on three Tretchikoff paintings with a common, universally

relevant and timeless theme: the beauty in sorrow. The paintings are:

Rainy Day (First Movement)

Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za

38

Weeping Rose (Second Movement)

Resurrection (Third Movement)

(Gallery, 2008: online)

Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za

39

This piece is programmatic in the sense that imagined movement is depicted: the rain

falling, the rose falling from the glass and the divorce of the spirit from the body. In

some instances different parts of the music can be seen as a camera focusing on different

parts of the picture, zooming in and out. Colours that are common to more than one

painting are represented by motifs that occur in all of the corresponding movements.

These “colours” are melodic fragments derived from different combinations of

conventional chords (representing beauty and sorrow), resulting in a more abstract sound.

The first part of the second movement is a fugue.

Symphonata for orchestra

The structure of this work resembles a Baroque sonata da chiesa: the second movement

is contrapuntal and is structured like a Baroque invention; the third movement is a

sarabande (containing quotes from a sarabande by Handel) and the fourth movement is a

gigue.

All the melodic and harmonic material has been derived from three heptatonic scales

which were all harmonised and transposed to all twelve tones. This provided for a rather

large compositional palette while still achieving a sense of pitch coherency in the work as

a whole. The untransposed, harmonised versions of the heptatonic scales are as follows

(again, enharmonic equivalents were also used in the work):

For practical reasons (i.e. increasing the chances of future performaneces) instruments

that are rarer in amateur orchestras (e.g. the cor anglais, bass clarinet, contrabassoon,

euphonium and harp) were not used in the orchestration. The second flute player doubles

on the piccolo and the percussion was limited to two players.
