That South Sea Island

That South Sea Island

by Ted Kirk

This is the 2nd piece in a set of 4 I wrote in 1986 called "Wishful Thinking" - originally for brass quintet. On the whole I prefer the computer version. If anyone's interested I can send all 4 on a C15 cassette - send £1 to TED KIRK, 33 Humber Cres., ST. HELENS, Merseyside WA9 4HD. Of course they are "through- composed", and don't gain from the computer's pattern-making ability. With 8 voices for 5 parts, in this one I did not go for 4-channel instruments, but used spare voices to "colour up" the sound - in effect making temporary 4-channel instruments as needed.
