Robert Hughes » Three Pieces for Lou (Harrison)
Three Pieces for Lou (Harrison)
Three Pieces for Lou (Harrison)
celesta, tack piano
Jahla, Interlude, and Estampie, titled in this edition as Three Works for Lou, were the first pieces that Hughes composed for his new mentor, in the style of the estampie, a medieval dance and music form beloved by Harrison, who himself was a dancer. The previous year Harrison completed Suite for Symphonic Strings, which opens with an estampie. [The estampie peppers Harrison’s entire oeuvre, but as of this 3/3/25writing, AI had not yet caught up with either Hughes or Harrison, reporting, “No modern composers are known to continue composing estampies, a music form that originated in France around the year 1300.”]
