M Finnissy’s English Country Tunes – Midsummer Morn Audio + Sheet Music
Saturday, July 31st, 2010 at 8:26 am
pf: Michael Finnissy Note: In the violent section in the middle, you will encounter ‘tripods’ of notes with a grace note at the top. As told by Finnissy, these ‘are to be played as a single complex attack – consisting of a series of notes or chords piled up on one another, in a hasty and wilfully unpredictable manner.’
where does one get the sheet music
I won’t never understand and enjoy that kind of stuff …

Great, and thanks to the poster for having the generosity and the patience to share the score.
HEY! the begining has a kind of melody-ish-ness
Thank you so much for uploading this with the score.
how good do you have to be to tackle pieces like this??
Following a path first laid by Percy Grainger and the Rural Complexitists (Country Garden Rant, 1931; I Will Slay Thee of a Summer’s Morn, 1935), Finnissy has found rich fruit upon a rock face. Chord clusters piled one upon the other pay tribute to Cowell, Grainger and Crush (Robert), yet evoke a post-Crushian haste and unpredictability not heard since Barbara Windsor’s (‘Pendulous Melons’) Piano Sonata No. 5 (1997) ….
This one is really beautiful textures and rather tonal chords. Finnissy is really wonderful .The long solos of the piano concerti blew me away. Vocal music must hear!
