| THE
FIRST PAPAY MUSIC COMMISSION BY JAMES HESFORD |
 |
|
|
"The
Entire Population of Papa Westray" was commissioned by Land Art
- Papa Westray in 2008.
I noticed that many of the Scottish tunes are named after people.
I decided that I would write a very long tune giving 4 bars of music
to each person on the island of Papay. There are 70 people living
there, which makes 280 bars of music without repeats..
As well as writing music I also write words - forming ideas through
flow of consciousness. I wanted to approach the composition in the
same way - writing a single line melody from left to right which would
flow from my pen as easily as words do. My starting point was the
fond memories I have of playing with Margaret Rendall (accordionist)
in the Papay pub on Saturday nights so the beginning melodic curves
and rhythms are reminiscent of the Scottish and Island tunes we played
together for the Papay dances.
I soon found the melody took a life of its own and steered me into
darker tonal areas. I suppose I could not escape the changing moods
of the weather in the Islands which was unknowingly influencing me.
The melody became as unpredictable as the wind, weaving into the brightness
of the diatonic folk tunes and out into territories more akin to Ornette
Coleman's free jazz improvisation or early twentieth
century attempts at atonalism.
I decided that the tune should be played by a fiddle and flute player,
two percussionists playing military snare and hide skin drum, and
a non musician improvising on accordion to add a layer of familiar
texture, and to be as disruptive as the ever blowing wind.
The voices of many residents of Papay (stating their name) were recorded
by Ivanov and Tsz Man Chan from Land Art - Papa Westray. These spoken
words have now become an important part of the overall composition.
