The winner of the Land's End Composers Competition and Workshop was The View from the Lighthouse by Cavan Carson for violin and piano.
Land's End performed and discussed brand new works with the competing
composers and a jury consisting of Akiko Tominaga, George Fenwick and
Robert Rosen. Carson was announced the winner at the end of the
workshop.
The View from the Lighthouse
is a piece for violin and piano in three movements. Each movement
uses a type of serialism developed by Schoenberg, Stravinsky and Boulez
respectively. This piece intends to create images of scenery
viewed from atop a lighthouse at the demise of the Earth. It is
thus a highly programmatic and expressive piece of music. The
violin and piano interact with one another in many ways to create this
imagery; for example, the irregular patterns in the second half of the
second movement are intended to represent waves crashing against a
cliff. All three movements are in binary form, although the
second and third have a short introduction leading to the climax at the
very end of the piece where the notes are "torn off" (not allowed to
resonate), truly representing "the end".
Land’s End performed and discussed brand new works with the competing
composers and a jury consisting of Akiko Tominaga, George Fenwick and
Robert Rosen. Carson was announced the winner at the end of the
workshop.
The View From The Lighthouse
was performed by Land’s End at the upcoming cabaret, Faces of Ebony, at
the Beat Niq Jazz and Social Club on May 13th and 14th at 8:00 pm.
Cavan Carson is a composer and pianist originally from Napanee,
Ontario, Canada. Interested in music from a young age, Cavan availed
himself of the playing opportunities, studying piano privately and
playing in the school band. Upon attending Queen's University at
Kingston, Ontario, Cavan began taking composition lessons and his
interests and skills began to flourish quite quickly. While at Queen's,
Cavan gave many public performances of his works at the University's
new music "Mosaic" concerts. Cavan studied with Marjan Mozetich and
John Burge while there and graduated from Queen's University in 2010,
receiving the Graham George Memorial Scholarship in Composition from
the University. He is currently pursuing a Master of Music in
Composition at the University of Calgary.
