Par AUVINEN ANTTI. Antti Auvinen's Karkija for bass clarinet and marimba was a commission of Duo Xylokosmos. The work was premiered on 22 November 2007 by Ingolfur Vilhjalmsson (bass clarinet) and Tobias Kuttman (marimba) in Neumarkt, Austria. This product includes one performance score (B4 sized loose pages) in a folder. In the music of Antti Auvinen (b. 1974), a modernist compositional language is fused with a powerful sense of drama and a charged intensity generated through the explosive clash of conflicting tensions. Auvinen?s soundworld is multifaceted and employs unusual combinations of instruments and a wide variety of modern, often rough and noisy extended techniques. His rich and expressive use of rhythms extends from the meditative stasis of freely notated fields to the edgy, insistent energy of multiple superimposed rhythmic layers. / Date parution : 2022-12-12/ Répertoire / Clarinette Basse et Marimba

Par AHO KALEVI. Kalevi Aho's Solo XV for marimba and three triangles (2018) proceeds to a motor-like beat in music dominated by semiquavers momentarily interrupted by eight short triangle entries. The triangle parts gradually get longer towards the end, and during them the soloist has a chance to change the marimba sticks from soft to hard and back. The triangles also create an ethereal, lingering contrast to the motoric music. Solo XV was composed in November 2018 as a Christmas present for Austrian percussionist Martin Grubinger, who had performed Aho's percussion concerto Sieidi dozens of times in many countries. Duration: c. 11' This product includes the sheet music in a folder as B4 sized loose pages. / Date parution : 2022-05-31/ Répertoire / Marimba et 3 Triangles
