Causton, Richard

Divertimento - As Kingfishers Catch Fire

Composer: Causton, Richard

Part/Version: Conductor's score and parts on hire

Forces or Category: Chamber ensemble

Details: Written specifically for the same instrumentation as Ravel's Introduction and Allegro, Divertimento focuses on the individual character of each instrument, drawing inspiration from Gerard Manley Hopkins' poem 'As Kingfishers catch fire'. Various techniques are employed to create a number of different sound worlds and colours, ranging from frantic, strummed pizzicato, speeded-up neo-Renaissance counterpoint, to distorted folk melodies in the wind parts and beautiful use of harmonics. After a number of contrasting episodes, the seven instruments finally unite in the closing section.
