This CD is the result of the fact that Peter Swann sent John Kenny the score of Prelude & Fandango in 2004, and he immediately realised that in order to do Peter’s piece justice, it would be necessary to generate additional pieces to explore the potential of this wonderful but completely untried combination. A small but very fine repertoire for trombone and string quartet already exists, as it does for harp and trombone duo, and also for harp and string quartet, but he could find no other examples for this sextet combination. The challenge, therefore, was to generate a completely new repertoire – and this CD is one of the results of that project.
