Perplexities after Escher
for heckelphone, string quartet and double bass
A fascinating chamber music work, inspired by Escher's pictorial worlds: rich in contrast, structurally aware and sonically extraordinary. The heckelphone unfolds its full expressive power in dialog with strings and double bass.
Product Details
Description
With Perplexities after Escher, Graham Waterhouse has created an unusual chamber music work for heckelphone, string quartet and double bass. Inspired by early graphics by M. C. Escher's early graphic works, the five-part composition combines clear forms with surprising changes in tonal perspective. The heckelphone stands as an equal partner in the ensemble and unfolds its entire color palette - from edgy-energetic to lyrical-piangendo. Ideal for demanding concert programs with special instrumentation.
Content
I Allegremente (Life Force) - II Adagio piacevole (Atrami) - III Presto scurrile (Dragon) - IV Moderato (Castrovalva) - V Con moto energico (Kringloop)
