At first sight it is a simple sentimental piece, but beneath it lies a History of pure imagination, enchantment and impossibility. The composer already realises he is no longer feeling what he is writing, he is just weaving a spell, over an ostinato guitar motif, to try to bring The feelings back (hence The title "Incantation"). He has found in his life that whenever he writes a song for The object of his desire, he has already begun to stop feeling that desire ... it is a sign that The relationship is about to change or disappear. But The whole thing is indeed enchantment and magic: you can dream and you can take The song at face value if you wish.  less

He invented The early British form of minimalism known as systems music, with his early "Machines". Humming And Ah-ing Machine is an innovative and fun composition by John White for unaccompanied SATB chorus. The work is made up of short repeated phrases that evolve and entwine, creating a hypnotic and exciting overall work. We performed this piece at a concert in St Michael's Cornhill, London, in 1983.  less
