about

This work, commissioned by Duo Montagnard and composed in Paris in 2015, was written at a point when most of my new works were characterized with slow moving textures and attempts to imbue the music with as much color and flexibility of line as possible. Filigree, then, combines this aesthetic with sections that exhibit a more motor-driven approach, harking back to earlier works for sax and guitar such as Pluck Blow. These sections with a single discernable pulse alternate with the more rhapsodic sections. The faster sections climb gradually in pitch with phrases that are distinctly jazz-like, reflecting an even earlier influence in my output.

The Irish composer Greg Caffrey studied composition under Piers Hellawell and James Clarke at Queen’s University Belfast (PhD in 2002). His compositions are performed worldwide and he has won a number of international awards including first prize at the Concorso Counterpoint, Italy as well as prestigious awards in Ireland, USA and Belgium. His music has been represented at major festivals which include Musica Nova Fesitval in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Zwischen den Horizonten, Germany, Forfest Festival, Czech Republic and the 45th Parallele, Valence, France, to name a few. Greg is the artistic director of Hard Rain SoloistEnsemble, Northern Ireland’s only professional ensemble entirely devoted to contemporary and 20th Century repertoire. Greg is represented by the Contemporary Music Centre, Ireland and is a member of the Association of Irish Composers.
