Description: This Orchestral Suite was inspired by the art illustrations fromBrian Froud’s book ‘Good Faeries Bad Faeries’, where each piece in the suite represents a drawing from his book, portraying three good faeries and three bad and is in many ways a tone poem. Each piece calls for different orchestration to create individual colour to make each piece unique. Permission was not consented to include the drawings. The line-up is as follows: I. Waters of Wisdom – Overture to the faerie realm (good) II. The Thoughts of the Melancholic Faerie – She contemplates of past and present (bad) III. A Banshee Passing – the idea of death as coming unknowingly and going quietly (bad) IV. Introduction to Faerie Lilu – clearing the mist V. The Faerie Lilu – the provocateur of restlessness – she inspires wild dreams, lost fantasies and gives artists their sparks of genius (bad) VI. A Cluster of Hedgerow Pixies – They are very mischievous – in a (good) way. VII. The Dance of the Oboe Faerie – a Finale (good). While he dances, he also sings of the faerie realm. A number of composers inspired me to pursue such a work, and firstly G. Holst has left his mark on me. The first and sixth movement was inspired by the ‘Planets’. The fifth movement is actually in homage to the French composer Frank Martin with the composition ‘Petite symphonie’ where he displays the piano and harpsichord – as I have done. The second and third movements are attempts to portray film music, such as composers H. Zimmerman and D.Elfman. The last movement has many neo-classical elements displayed and I. Stravinsky had a notable influence on this piece. All the composers mentioned here have contributed in more than one piece at some point in time. The theme of the work, the magical theme, always makes me reminisce my childhood where I would in amazement wonder about my grandmothers glorious garden in search of all that is magical, and composing this took me back to that time of innocent, child-like wonder
