COMPOSER’S NOTE This work was written between March 1987 and April 1989. It is in two movements. The first and longer of the two follows a formal procedure which I first used in my Trio for Flute, Viola and Piano (1961) and subsequently in my Second and Third Quartets (1970 and 1978), and in parts of my Chamber Concerto (1973). This consists of the presentation of contrasting blocs, which usually appear first in their shortest, simplest form. These are then juxtaposed with each other, and expand and develop in largely independent ways. Here the two initial blocs are: a vigorous one for all three instruments, with a fanfare-like figure on the horn which recurs throughout; a lyrical one – a sustained tune in the violin’s high register, with bass notes on the piano. The third bloc is a contrapuntal one, with the first appearance of a ‘tapping’ motif, and the fourth is a chordal piano solo. There is also a recurring duet for violin and horn. From then on all these short sections expand and develop. For instance, the violin’s lyrical tune comes back at length on the horn, and the piano chordal section is heard on the other two instruments. After a climax to a greatly extended version of the ‘tapping’ motif there is a prolonged lyrical section, providing a slow movement character. A full-blooded return of the lyrical themes from the ‘slow movement’ leads into the final section. This is an apotheosis of the initial piano chordal theme, with the first lyrical theme set against it. There are various other reminiscences in the last few bars. The last movement presents three fugatos, preceded by a fanfare-like introduction and interspersed with rhythmic, non-contrapuntal episodes. The first fugato is led off by the horn, the second by the violin and the third by the piano. There is a more prolonged return to the material of the introduction before the first theme of the opening movement appears in long notes on the horn in the closing pages. This work was written for the Serge Koussevitzsky Music Foundation in the Library of Congress, and is dedicated to the memory of Serge and Natalie Koussevitsky. It is also personally dedicated to Ingrid Lunt, in return for many kindnesses, and because she suggested that I write it. H.W.
Hugh Wood was born at Parbold, near Wigan, Lancashire, on 27th June 1932, and was educated at Oundle and New College, Oxford, where he read Modern History. His musical education started at the age of 22: he studied with Dr W.S. Lloyd Webber, and later with Anthony Milner, Iain Hamilton and Matyas Seiber. He himself has since taught music regularly, at various levels: at Morley College (1958-67), the Royal Academy of Music (1962-75), Glasgow (1966-70) and Liverpool (1971-75) Universities, and finally Cambridge (1976-99), where he was a Fellow of Churchill College. He is also a well-known broadcaster and writer on music. His works include many songs, much chamber music, including piano and horn trios and five string quartets, a vocal-orchestral work, Scenes from Comus (1965), Concertos for Cello (1969), Violin (1972 and 2004), and Piano (1991), a work for strings, Serenade and Elegy (1999), and a Symphony (1982).
