Programme note The spectrum of sound the gesticulation - in short the very nature of the strings - has always had a central place in my output demonstrated by the numbers of string quartets concertos with string soloist chamber and solo works. The interest dates back to my school years when I was fortunate to be able to compose for a cello-playing schoolmate and to accompany him on the piano. I discovered then the innumerable nuances of sound and playing varieties offered by just one bow four strings and five fingers.. The bell-like association if the title reflects the special texture of the work. Like thecontinously changing overtones of a struck resonating bell the four parts are unified through one single basic line broken up in a multitude of changing dynamics of a multifacetted rhythm and resulting in an ever transforming harmony. The duration of the work is ca 12 minutes. Per Norgard (1998)

June Armstrong’s songbook The Girona Suite – Eight Evocations For Piano features eight original and challenging compositions for grades five to seven standard all inspired by the shipwreck of the Spanish galleas the Girona. The pieces included in this songbook were all composed specifically for this collection by revered pianist and teacher June Armstrong .

From the first page the composer has shown her commitment to creating pieces specifically for students learning the Piano as she writes of how many people including former students have inspired her. She then writes in detail about the historical context of the theme of the work before giving more practical advice on the music itself and how to go about playing it. The friendly and warm approach that Armstrong brings to presenting her suite makes it more than a simple songbook it becomes a personal journey where the composer herself guides you through the characters and settings that the music has been composed to evoke. As well as presenting challenging and entertaining pieces Armstrong’s work serves as a fantastic introduction into how major and minor keys can be manipulated to different ends and how motifs can be used together with a theme. Armstrong writes: ”The final piece Sarabande for the Lost Souls returns to the desolation of Eb minor closing with a final statement of the No Tengo theme.” The songs in The Girona Suite are designed to
