Fifths (2017)
for solo piano
Afrikosmos Volume 1: No 8
Dedicated to Andile Khumalo
Composed 5-6 October 2017, Saint-Léger-Magnazeix
Publisher: Bardic Edition
Available from Goodmusic Publishing
Score BDE 1281 (Volume 1 Complete)
Duration: 1'15"
Recording
Recorded by Antony Gray on 'Michael Blake: Afrikosmos’ (Divine Art DA 21374)
Première
First performance: 22 September 2022; Chisholm Recital Room, Cape Town; Antony Gray piano
Programme note
Fifths explores one interval in particular (and sometimes its inversion, the fourth): sometimes the fifths are piled on top of each other, sometimes they move in contrary motion. Overall it is like a little machine, with extensive repetition of figures.
