Gardiner moved to Brisbane in 2017, and completed a Doctor of Musical Arts at Queensland Conservatorium, Griffith University, researching into \u2018Sounding a History of the Guitar in Queensland\u2019, under the guidance of Karen Schaupp. Duncan Gardiner sadly passed away in 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A thousand cranes beat their wings was originally composed as a duo for guitar and piano, and premiered by Gardiner\u2019s ensemble the <i>mimi duo<\/i>, in 2015, and Gardiner rescored the work as a piano trio for <i>Magellan<\/i> in 2016. The title references the Japanese legend that a person who folds 1000 origami paper cranes will be granted a wish; and through the story of Hiroshima victim, Sadako Sasaki, 1000 origami paper cranes became internationally symbolical of peace, and Gardiner has inscribed this trio as \u2018a prayer for peace for the victims of the 2011 Japanese tsunami and earthquake disaster; a prayer for hope for the survivors\u2019. In an interview in July 2020, Gardiner described the emotional impact the unfolding footage of the 2011 earthquake had on them, and processing the emotions by improvising themes on a small glockenspiel, which later formed the foundation of this work. Gardiner\u2019s duo toured the original version to Japan for the fifth anniversary of the disaster, performing the work to an audience of over 2000 at the Muza Kawasaki Symphony Hall.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The work is cast in five continuous parts. <i>Part I \u2013 Crimson against Reed Green<\/i> is gentle and flowing, with the theme an imagined Japanese folksong; in <i>Part II \u2013 In the Takeoff they are Together<\/i> the drama builds, with a repeated ostinato A in the piano representing the alarms going off for the tsunami warning, and <i>Part III \u2013 Rushing out of Water, Sky<\/i> represents the tsunami waves breaking. <i>Part IV \u2013 A Tessellating Flock. Blue Sky and Water<\/i> is the climax of the piece, and the demi-semiquaver swirling motion in the piano part represents the whirlpools and submerging of the tsunami, with the well-known <i>Sakura<\/i> folk melody singing on the top of the piano texture and in the cello. The waves gradually recede, giving way to a grand <i>Part V \u2013 The Feathery White Finale<\/i>, in a major modality now, as a reprise of the first theme, and this section represents a flock of white cranes rising at sunset, as a symbol of peace and hope for survivors.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-1 fusion_builder_column_1_3 1_3 fusion-flex-column fusion-flex-align-self-flex-start\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:33.333333333333%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:5.76%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:28.8%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-image-element \" style=\"--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-1 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"4915\" height=\"4912\" title=\"Duncan Gardiner\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%274915%27%20height%3D%274912%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%204915%204912%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%274915%27%20height%3D%274912%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-orig-src=\"http:\/\/australianpianotrios.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Duncan-Gardiner.jpg\" alt class=\"lazyload img-responsive wp-image-308\"\/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><p>Duncan Gardiner (image provided by composer)<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to learn more about Duncan&#8217;s creative work, please <a href=\"https:\/\/www.duncangardiner.com\/\">visit their website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The score and parts for this work are available from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.australianmusiccentre.com.au\/work\/gardiner-duncan-thousand-cranes-beat-their-wings\">Australian Music Centre<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-video fusion-youtube\" style=\"--awb-max-width:600px;--awb-max-height:360px;\"><div class=\"video-shortcode\"><div class=\"fluid-width-video-wrapper\" style=\"padding-top:60%;\" ><iframe class=\"fusion-hidden\" data-privacy-type=\"youtube\" src=\"\" title=\"YouTube video player 2\" data-privacy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OhEbGK4PnZg?wmode=transparent&autoplay=0\" width=\"600\" height=\"360\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen\"><\/iframe><div class=\"fusion-privacy-placeholder\" style=\"width:600px; height:360px;\" data-privacy-type=\"youtube\"><div class=\"fusion-privacy-placeholder-content\"><div class=\"fusion-privacy-label\">For privacy reasons YouTube needs your permission to be loaded.<\/div><a href=\"\" data-privacy-type=\"youtube\" class=\"fusion-button button-default fusion-button-default-size button fusion-privacy-consent\">I Accept<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><p>This video contains an unfolding news report for the the 2011 Japanese Tsunami disaster.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":15,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.6 -
