Score and Parts. Commissioned by the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Centre. First performance 19 May 1998, Merkin Concert Hall, New York City. Quoting Weir. 'In my previous work, I have often enjoyed inventing titles which attempt to encapsulate the particular world of each composition, but this fifteen minutes piece for violin, cello and piano is simply entitled Piano Trio. What is the reason for this unusually abstract description. I think perhaps that in this piece, the many external impressions which habitually make up my musical world have become too numerous and too personal to be pinned down in the space of few words that a composition title allows. The first movement began in my mind with impressions of Venice as relayed in Schubert's song Gondelfahrer. the crisp midnight air, the dark choppy water, the bells tolling, the gondolier alone in emotional turmoil. Schubert's world is a place where I can find constant inspiration and strength. The second movement recalls a time when I was called from a phone box in Africa. At one moment I was alone in my room, the next. or so it seemed in my imagination. surrounded by light, heat and sudden energy and activity. The movement is not, however, an evocation of African music. it takes the form of a scherzo and trio, which collide with each other at the movement's conclusion. The third movement formed in my mind whilst I was reading some Gaelic poetry from the Hebridean island of Lewis on Scotland 's far flung Atlantic fringe. I was thinking of the bleached white beaches in that part of the world, where every object lying on the sand - a washed-up bottle or a bird's skeleton - is a major event in a deserted landscape. The same might be said of this short set of musical variations, where melodic fragments are laid out with plenty of space around them, clear and plain for everyone to hear.

Telling en Parts. In opdrag van die Kamermusiek Vereniging van Lincoln Sentrum. Eerste vertoning 19 Mei 1998, Merkin Concert Hall, New York City. Haal Weir. 'In my vorige werk, het ek dikwels geniet uitvind titels wat poog om die spesifieke wêreld van elke komposisie omsluit, maar dit vyftien minute stuk vir viool, tjello en klavier is eenvoudig getiteld Piano Trio. Wat is die rede vir hierdie buitengewoon abstrakte beskrywing. Ek dink miskien dat in hierdie stuk, die talle eksterne indrukke wat gewoonlik maak my musikale wêreld te veel en te persoonlik raak in die ruimte van 'n paar woorde wat 'n samestelling titel kan word vasgepen. Die eerste beweging begin in my gedagtes met indrukke van Venesië as deurgegee in Schubert se lied Gondelfahrer. die helder middernag lug, die donker woelig water, die klokke tol, die gondelier alleen in emosionele onrus. Schubert se wêreld is 'n plek waar ek konstant inspirasie en krag kan kry. Die tweede beweging herinner 'n tyd toe ek geroep van 'n selfoon boks in Afrika. Op een oomblik was ek alleen in my kamer, die volgende. of so lyk dit in my verbeelding. omring deur die lig, hitte en skielike energie en aktiwiteit. Die beweging is egter nie 'n oproeping van Afrika-musiek. dit neem die vorm van 'n scherzo en trio, wat met mekaar bots op slot die beweging se. Die derde beweging gevorm in my gedagte terwyl ek lees sommige Gaelic gedigte uit die Hebride-eiland Lewis op Skotland se verafgeleë Atlantiese byvoordele. Ek het gedink van die verbleikte wit strande in daardie deel van die wêreld, waar elke voorwerp lê op die sand - 'n gewas-up bottel of geraamte van 'n voël - is 'n groot gebeurtenis in 'n verlate landskap. Dieselfde kan gesê word van hierdie kort stel musikale variasies, waar melodiese fragmente met baie van die ruimte rondom hulle gelê, 'n duidelike en eenvoudige vir almal om te hoor.
