Erik Chisholm: Cameos [download]
Twenty-four short pieces for piano. Computer typeset score (26p) saved as pdf for immediate download.
Each of the pieces is given a title, some with quotations from an eclectic gathering of sources showing that Chisholm’s interests were broad ones from the start. The opening piece ‘A Jewel From The Siderial Casket’ is headed by an unsourced quotation “B. (Beta) Cygnus-a drop of blood red with an emerald green companion” which refers to the spectacular double star. Cameos includes an exuberant piece ‘Happiness.’ The offbeat left-hand chords give it a reckless immediacy suggestive of general tomfoolery, in which Chisholm indulged throughout his life.
Eight of the Cameos were recorded by Murray McLachlan on Erik Chisholm Piano Music CD.
