The rehearsals for the suite “To Notice Such Things” – the title work from Jon’s current album at the time.
The beginning of the rehearsals for the suite “To Notice Such Things” – the title work from Jon’s current album at the time.
This beautiful musical work, in memory of Jon’s close friend since the 1990s, Sir John Mortimer, began life when Mortimer asked Jon Lord if he might enjoy playing the piano for some of his shows. Mortimer also asked if Jon might consider writing a couple of pieces to accompany the show, which Jon did.
Offered a commission to write a new piece for solo flute and string orchestra for the Shipley Arts Festival in July 2009, still dealing with the loss of his friend, who passed in 2008, Jon thought the pieces he wrote for “Mortimer’s Miscellany” might be the basis for a new piece.
Albeit being the last piece played at the rehearsal, “To Notice Such Things“ started the concert a couple of hours later.
