Description

Following on several works for larger-scale forces focused on the mastering of a large-scale structure and musical flow, these pieces take their inspiration from the desire for concentration and reduction. The ten movements all display a high degree of disparity in all possible aspects. Each piece concentrates on a particular tonal phenomenon (pulse, shaky foundations, noise, monophony, structures with harmonics etc.), but all sections still remain interlocked. The ending (or its reflection) of each piece forms the initial point of the subsequent movement, thereby transforming disparate elements into a single narrative. Despite the brevity or reduction on the horizontal plane, the vertical plane of these pieces has become quite substantial by my standards: this is my first real ensemble work (for 9 wind players, 5 string players and 2 percussionists). Jörg Widmann
