ALCHEMISTIC SUITE a suite for Big Band in four parts
commissioned by the David Kweksilber Big Band (Amsterdam)
and the Netherlands Performing Arts Fund
The first complete composition Hilary wrote was at the age of 15 for a school big band. He has subsequently written for and played in many big bands, at university and as a professional musician. The most recent is his “Alchemistic Suite” for the David Kweksilber Big Band, in four parts. This is a new suite for the DKBB commissioned by David Kweksilber with support from the Netherlands Performing Arts Fund. Each part features solos and duos from the band as well as group improvisations. The score combines traditional and graphic notation. Many musical influences, approaches and styles are incorporated into the music, combined and mixed in unusual ways – something like an alchemical experiment. In composing this work Hilary is particularly influenced by the music of Gil Evans, London Jazz Composers Orchestra, Olivier Messiaen, Charles Mingus, George Russell, Keith Tippett, Henry Threadgill amongst many others.
