 The New Zealand Accordion Association (NZAA) has a policy of promoting accordion compositions, especially those by NZ composers. For the 2011 South Pacific & NZ Accordion Championships, the NZAA has selected several compositions by Amy Jennings as test music or to be featured in concerts. ‘Lazy Sunday’ and ‘Rainforest South Westland’ have been chosen as test music for two different NZ Championship categories which will be performed on June 4th 2011. ‘Hutt River Illusions’ was originally composed as a duet for Amy’s mum and a friend, however after a special request, a third part was added and is now a trio. Amy will be playing the third part at the competitions on June 4th, which will be the premiere performance of the work. Amy Jennings has also composed two new works for the North Shore Music Makers, ‘Red Forest’ and ‘Secret Agent C7’. ‘Red Forest’ was inspired from a pop song that has beautiful melodies, and is a piece designed to challenge young players. It has a reccurring motif throughout the piece which showcases the accordion group sound for young players. ‘Secret Agent C7’ is more of a rock piece that has challenging rhythmic pattern and is fun for young players. |
