    BACH TO PARKER Thomas Gould FOREWORD This album began life as a recital programme in which I interspersed movements from Bach’s six Sonatas and Partitas for unaccompanied violin with some of the new works recorded here for the first time. My intention was to show that the extended violin techniques called upon by living composers had evolved from the demanding contrapuntal writing of Bach, whose mighty Chaconne is considered as the summit of the solo violin repertoire. All composers writing solo violin music face the challenge of composing for an essentially monophonic instrument, and it is interesting to see the points of comparison and departure in the way the composers featured on this disc address this inherent limitation. In the case of Mark Bowden’s Lines Written a Few Miles Below and Nico Muhly’s Long Line a solution is provided by technology, as both pieces utilise a pre-recorded backing track. The final track on this album is a performance of Miles Davis’s classic bebop tune Donna Lee (with its close association to the great Charlie Parker) in which my solo is a loose transcription of bassist Jaco Pastorius’s famous solo from his version of this tune on the album Jaco, and complements the preceding piece BoBop by John Hawkins. I’d particularly like to thank David and Mary Bowerman, Raphaël Mouterde, David O’Brien and Sam Hogarth, who transcribed the solo on Donna Lee . I hope you enjoy the journey from Bach to Parker as much as I did in selecting and recording this repertoire, and I hope that many of the new works will take their deserving place in the repertoire of music composed for solo violin.
