JOHNSTONE – Two Popular Pieces – STRING TRIO [VIOLIN-VIOLA-CELLO] [only available from “Creighton’s Collection”]

Other Identification:
TWO POPULAR PIECES FOR STRING TRIO are fun and multi-use pieces for Violin, Viola and Cello, suitable in most lighter programmes, or as encores in more serious recitals, but also as ‘utility pieces’ in galas, congresses, receptions, and even have worked splendidly in weddings … the two pieces can be performed in whichever order one wishes (the composer personally favours a fast – slow order!) or one piece can be played separately as an individual piece.

Movements or sections: ‘Celtic Celebration’: the composer was born in the south of England but has long been conscious of his celtic blood – indeed the Johnstones were formally one of the most powerful border clans in South Scotland – so it came rather naturally to him to write a trio piece of ‘pure’ celtic ambience.
‘Song for Her’: this is a most gentle and tender instrumental song, with a high lyricism that deliberately intends to remind one of a young man dreaming of his love. It is European but it would be difficult to define an exact place. The cello plays in arpeggio patterns (rather in the manner of a guitarist) whilst the violin and viola sing out their melodies, frequently playing together in octaves.

Personal

David Johnstone lives near Pamplona (Navarre, Spain) with his wife Rosa and their two “Spanglish” children, close to the Atlantic Pyrenees. The nearest international airport is Bilbao.

He is interested in world affairs, politics, animal rights, and most sports (including being a lifelong suffering Reading FC fan!). Also passionate about Celtic culture and genealogy, he has traced his ‘English’ family back to 1280, although Scotland and Ireland have also shaped his background. And yes — he is half-ashamed to admit it, he loves silly jokes!

Social Work

David Johnstone supports animal rights, he is against any form of abuse towards them, and says a loud “NO” to bullfighting, foxhunting and any other animal cruelty.

TORTURE IS NOT CULTURE !
