ABOUT D W SOLOMONS

David Warin Solomons was born in Oxford, UK, in 1953. He began composing in 1969, initially focusing on violin and classical guitar before expanding into singing, performing both as an alto soloist and in choral settings. His diverse body of work includes a mass for choir and orchestra, various orchestral pieces, and an opera titled Aton, which connects ancient Egypt to modern-day Austria.

Now residing in Loughborough in the East Midlands of England, Solomons continues to create and innovate, adding to the musical repertoire and inspiring future generations of musicians.

3 DANCES FOR CARILLON

Carillon regardless (title suggested by my Dad!) is a set of three pieces for carillon written especially for the Carillon in Loughborough (UK). The pieces (available separately or as one download) are:
Bell Dance: a jolly number using a 3 – 3 – 2 rhythm with a melody which is also used for my song “It was a lover and his lass”.
Sunday in the park: based on a poem (by my Dad) about the park surrounding the carillon on a hot Sunday.
Passacaglia: simply a walk down the street (pasar la calle) – this piece also exists as a piece for various combinations including organ solo, flute and guitar and clarinet and guitar.
