FURIES AND MUSES

Composer: 
Lawrence Dillon
Instrumentation freestyle: 
BASSOON, STRING QUARTET
Scoring: 
recorded by Jeff Keesecker, bassoon, with the Cassatt String Quartet

Instruments

In Classical mythology, the furies and muses had clearly distinguished roles: the furies exacted revenge through ingenious torments, the muses were shepherdesses to the arts and sciences. In pre-Classical times, however, this distinction was not so clear. The earliest sources indicate that the furies and muses were both aspects of the same goddess in her creative and destructive phases.

Furies and Muses is a musical juxtaposition of violence and elegance: throughout the piece, aggressive gestures are suddenly transformed into phrases of great delicacy, and vice versa. In many cases, the affect of the music is the only thing that is changed, i.e., the gestures retain all of their structural characteristics, but with completely different expressive results.

THREE BAGATELLES for solo bassoon

Composer: 
Allan Blank
Instrumentation freestyle: 
bsn

Instruments

Composed for Bruce Hammel, and performed by him during his trip to China. The three short movements juxtapose whimsical and lyrical material in varying orders and lengths.The third bagatelle is a minature Tarantella. Registral placement and the occasional use of arpeggiated figuration helps to fill out and substitute for full harmony or multi-voiced writing.

Christopher Shultis

large ensemble of winds, saxophones, harp, piano, brass, percussion, contrabass
Scoring: 
3-2-4(bscl)-2; 4-3-1-1; SAATB(saxes); hp, pf, timp, perc(5), db

Openings is written for winds and percussion. There are four movements: mouth, mind, eye and ear. The piece began in 2004 as I walked up the Spruce Spring Trail near Red Canyon campground in the Manzano Wilderness for the first time. Openings is physically connected to the density of the trail as one climbs up a ridge of the mountain. When you've reached a certain height there are openings out into the mesa where you can see for miles and miles. Openings is artistically connected to Encounter, the installation piece I made in collaboration with visual artist Hee Sook Kim.

The thillana is a vocal genre in South Indian dance and music performances that prominently features drumming syllables as part of the text. The Dhanasri Thillana, named after the raga Dhanasri (similar to the Dorian mode) was composed by Swathi Thirunal, who was not only a prolific composer, but also the ruler of Travanacore (now Kerala) from 1815 to 1829. The Dhanasri Thillana is one of Swathi Thirunal’s most enduring works – performed frequently on both music and dance concerts throughout India.
