Oorspronklik

Written for David Heyes as part of his "Fizz at 50" project. "Gerty Goat Scuffer". in case you wondered. is one of many nick-names we had for a much loved family dog - officially named "Heavy Hetty" from a character in an imaginative children's book of that name. In my youth as a composition student at the RAM, I discovered that walking a dog for an hour a day is the anti-dote to the long hours required as a composer, "sat you yer bum" writing at a desk, and. in those pre-computer years. writing endless parts out by hand. First of these 'best friends' was a glorious Gordon Setter called "Sophie",. my first love. , who accompanied Pat and I on our honeymoon across Scotland. Thirty years later, we were privileged to enjoy the company of three therapeutic beasts. "Merlin". a prize winning Pyrenean Mountain Dog. , "Gael". an over energetic Scottish Border Collie. and "Hetty". a unique cross between a Pyrenean Mountain Dog and a St. Bernard - something of a "kennel-maid's Accident". Hetty. see picture. is unfortunately no longer with us now. She had an extraordinary puppy-hood that left her with titanium plates holding her back legs together. Hetty was surprisingly active though, right through to the age of nearly 10 - speciality. chasing Pheasants in the grounds at Strathmashie - but she became progressively hampered by arthritis, and 'scuffed along' on her vast hairy pads with a swagger. She also used to remind our children of a mountain goat. Songs have been written about her, but this is the first instrumental work that she has inspired. The pervading thematic motive of the piece. heard from the outset. , cheekily alludes to an. over. famous Saint-Saëns work for double bass. but no insult is intended to Hetty. The increasingly roving tonality and unusually sudden shifts of key, combined with the use of jazz chords, combines to present a short but heartfelt tribute to a unique animal that provided untold pleasure to all she came into contact with, simply by just being "herself".

Vertaling

Geskryf vir Dawid Heyes as deel van sy "Fizz 50" -projek. "Gerty Bok Scuffer". in die geval dat jy gewonder. is een van die vele byname wat ons gehad het vir 'n geliefde familie hond - amptelik die naam "Swaar Hetty" van 'n karakter in 'n verbeeldingryke kinders se boek met daardie naam. In my jeug as 'n samestelling student by die geheue, het ek ontdek dat die loop 'n hond vir 'n uur 'n dag is die anti-kind word aan die lang ure wat nodig is as 'n komponis, "sit jy yer boude" skryf by 'n lessenaar, en. in daardie pre-rekenaar jaar. skryf eindelose dele uit die hand. Eerste van hierdie "beste vriende" was 'n heerlike Gordon setter genaamd "Sophie",. my eerste liefde. , Wat ek en Pat op ons wittebrood oor Skotland vergesel. Dertig jaar later, was ons bevoorreg om die maatskappy van drie terapeutiese diere te geniet. "Merlin". 'n prys te wen Pireneë Mountain Dog. "Gael". 'n oor energieke Skotse skaaphond. en "Hetty". 'n unieke kruising tussen 'n Pyrenese berg hond en 'n St Bernard - iets van 'n "kennel-dogtertjie se ongeluk". Hetty. sien foto. Ongelukkig is nie meer met ons nou. Sy het 'n buitengewone hondjie-kap dat haar gelaat met titanium plate hou haar agterpote saam. Hetty was verbasend aktiewe al, reg deur tot die ouderdom van byna 10 - spesialiteit. jaag Fisante in die grond by Strathmashie - maar sy het geleidelik in die wiele gery deur artritis en 'gehawende saam' op haar groot harige boekies met 'n windmakerig. Sy het ook gebruik om ons kinders op 'n berg bok te herinner. Liedjies geskryf oor haar, maar dit is die eerste instrumenteel werk wat sy geïnspireerde. Die deurdringende tematiese motief van die stuk. van die begin af gehoor het. , Verwys astrant aan 'n. oor. beroemde Saint-Saëns werk vir double bass. maar geen belediging is bedoel om Hetty. Die toenemend rondreisende tonaliteit en buitengewoon skielike verskuiwings van die belangrikste, gekombineer met die gebruik van jazz akkoorde, kombineer 'n kort, maar opregte hulde aan te bied aan 'n unieke dier wat verskaf ongekende plesier om al sy in aanraking gekom het met, eenvoudig deur net "haarself".
