The history of the Iona Community, including St Colomba's founding
of an influential Celtic Christian community on the Hebridean
island of Iona in the sixth century, the work of George MacLeod
whose inspiration placed Iona firmoly on the Christian map once
again in the 20th century and the current broad span of the
Community, touching the map of human experience - spirituality,
politics, peace and justice - guided by the wild goose, Celtic
symbol of the Holy Spirit.
Danny Elfman's Piano Quartet comprises thematic variations for
piano and string trio cast in five movements: Ein Ding,
Kinderspott, Duett fur Vier, Ruhig and Die Wolfsjungen. The idea
behind the work stems from a familiar children's playground taunt
which can be heard in the second movement. The work playfully
cycles through a variety of moods and textures, from the agitated
intensity of the first movement so reminiscent of the composer's
iconic film music, through to the delicate Adagio, all culminating
in Elfman's energetic and impassioned finale.
