In 2007, after the death of his father William Waterhouse, he composed ''Epitaphium in Memoriam W.R.W.'' as a tribute to his memory. == History == William Waterhouse died suddenly in Florence on 5 November 2007, age 76. His son composed ''Epitaphium'' as an Epitaph to be performed at a memorial service in London, "In Memoriam W.R.W.". Instead, the trio was premiered on 19 July 2009 in the Kleiner Konzertsaal of the Gasteig, performed by the players of the Münchner Philharmoniker Clément Courtin (violin) and Gunter Pretzel (viola), and the composer (cello).〔 The program included Wilhelm Killmayer's Trio (1984), Arnold Schoenberg's string trio and Mozart's Divertimento K. 563.〔 ''Epitaphium'' was performed several times, including a concert on 14 March 2011 in Munich presenting mostly contemporary Bavarian composers, along with the composer's Bassoon Quintet and music of Franz Lachner, Jörg Duda, Bernd Redmann and Dieter Acker, with viola player Konstantin Sellheim.〔 ''Epitaphium'' was the penultimate work in the concert ''The Proud Bassoon'', celebrating William Waterhouse on 16 April 2011 in Wigmore Hall.〔 It was the first performance of the work in the UK.〔 The players were the children of William Waterhouse, as had been planned originally for the Memorial Service: Celia Waterhouse, violinist with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, Lucy Waterhouse, viola, and the composer, cello.〔 On the program was also the composer's quartet for three bassoons and contrabassoon ''Bright Angel''.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Epitaphium」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
