Abstract

Description: Virginia Taylor and Daniel de Borah - a new work and recording of Sonatina for Flute and Piano by composer Heather Percy. Recorded in Brisbane at Queensland Conservatorium, Griffith University. Research Background: The collaboration of Virginia Taylor (flute), Daniel de Borah (piano) and Australian composer Heather Percy realised a new work for flute and piano in the form of a “Sonatina for Flute and Piano” The linked movements combine to form a work of over 8 minutes in length. The new work has since been aired nationally on ABC Classic radio. The funding was provided by Taylor and de Borah. Score and parts are available through https://www.heatherpercymusic.com Research Contribution: A new and substantial work for flute and piano by an Australian female composer is significant. This research is part of an ongoing project to commission Australian female composers. The new work increases the limited Australian repertoire for flute and piano and reflects a collaboration with a leading female Australian composer. Challenges, due to distances and working with the composer from across different cities were varied. The aim was to achieve a work which would expand, challenge and complement both instruments. Prior to recording, skype, pdf drafts and recordings were shared. The work was workshopped and developed at QCGU in the final days before recording. Research Significance: The newly published work received its world premiere recording in December 2019. The work has since received several live performances in Australia. ABC Classic was very keen to have this recording available to them and has featured it on their Breakfast program in 2020. Taylor has several CDs on various labels including Tall Poppies, ABC and Move. This new work will form part of a planned CD which will feature commissions of Australian female composers.
