James Weeks' Olympic Frieze for any number of pitched instruments (minimum 12).Composed and published 2014. Variable duration. First performed by participants at CoMA Summer School High Melton Doncaster on 21st August 2014. Olympic Frieze is conceived like an Ancient Greek frieze around the entablature of a temple: players should be placed along the walls of the performance space at regular intervals like figures in a bas-relief. Like visitors to a temple or museum the audience should be free to wander through the space and out again as desired and there should be no audible starting or stopping point - ideallythe music should be playing before the first audience member enters and continue after the last audience member leaves. Thus the piece functions as part of the decoration of the room and might be considered a descendant of Satie's musique d'ameublement; the difference being that Olympic Frieze is not intended as background music but to draw the listener's attention. It is also fundamentally audio-visual in nature. The piece explores the fundamental pleasure and beauty of physical exercise that underlie both ancient and modern manifestations of the Olympic games (as well as the Spartan gymnopaedia evoked in Satie's Piano pieces). The music consists of three elements: Exercises Actions and Disciplines. There are 84 short repeated Exercise motifs analogous to simple movements of the body or stretching exercises in performing which the players adopt stylised (musical) poses akin to those of Greek art. In between Exercises the players perform a number of silent physical Actions devised by themselves. Once stretched and loose each player is ready to attempt his or her own personal Discipline chosen from a list of 9 possibilities (running jumping javelin and trampoline).

for flute viola and harp-Three Shades Without Angles is a piece that plays with the idea of transformation of musical shapes. When writing this piece I was inspired by Auguste Rodin’s sculpture The Three Shades a detail sitting atop the sculptor’s work The Gates of Hell depicting a scene from Dante’s The Inferno. Although my music is not representative or depictive of Dante or an image of hell I was deeply drawn to the sinewy character of Rodin’s work its intensity muscularity consistency and the way in which movement and energy is represented in his shapes - Hannah Lash
