Move Records Australian classical music, est. 1968

Solos Duos Trios

Chamber music by Australian composer Haydn Reeder, performed by various artists.

With the exception of the piano solo Tolling Bell Song, all of the pieces are world premieres. That solo is the oldest piece: the others are relatively recent having been written during 2012 to 2023. Various styles and many different techniques will be discerned, ranging from chromaticism as in the expressionist-influenced Rondo to what I call evolving repetition as in Surrounding the Cello. Throughout, you will hear the influence of bells (Wheels Piece) and bell-ringing (Rondo).

Press quote

“This CD of the music by Haydn Reeder offers a treasure trove of delightful gems by one of Australia’s leading senior composers. Invention abounds, the music sings and one is always captivated by the arching structural lines that demands that the music must go on and so often this music is full of a beauty that beguiles. And the performers are caring and brilliant, the recordings, the artwork and the CD itself are all first rate and continues the excellence that MOVE has set for more than five decades.”
