The A-M of Harvey’s Nod

Marrion, Sarah

About the work

Written following James Harrison’s workshop on minimalism at the COMA Summer School in 1994. The title refers to the conductor’s indications to one of the musicians of where to change sections.

First Performance: In-house concert, 1994 CoMA Summer School, Wortley Hall

Technical notes

Frequent metre changes and rhythmic groupings cause difficulties in places. Usually requires conductor to indicate section changes. Minimalist. Fun to play.
