… the things you love

Burnell, Paul

About the work

One of my favourite TV theme tunes was written by Spike Milligan, and featured an electronic buzzer. This theatrical piece has the feeling of a scientific experiment laid out cabaret-style, and deals with our love of, and envy of, possessions. The buzzer serves to identify the sections of the piece – and to imply a Pavlovian response in our desire to own (and destroy) possessions.

Technical notes

The notation is laid out in a grid structure – so it should be possible for non-musicians to pick it up fairly easily. The piece will need to be introduced by a musician. The presentation of the piece will need a lot of attention.
