The texts of the French author Anne-Marie Albiach have long been the point of departure for my works. Following the viola concerto << monstrueuse vecut dans le cadre >> la memoire, which is based on her << H II >> lineaires, the three texts entitled << une geometrie >> have generated a new cycle. As in the other two works of the cycle, << vertical et blanc >> is predicated on two different readings of the text: on the one hand a (private) reading by Anne-Marie Albiach in which time is measured out; while on the other hand the graphic text is measured millimeter by millimeter. The latter serves as the basis - the genetic code - for the temporal, horizontal structures of the ensemble part, whereas the reading of the author appears late in the melodic lines of the solo alto flute, which force the ensemble to play an accompaniment in flat surfaces. In << vertical et blanc >> one clearly recognizable element is repeated: a ninth chord, the basic element in the works of Claude Debussy, the composer who I admire wholeheartedly. For the generation of tone materials this chord is compressed and stretched within the ranges (frames) of tones which are derived from the horizontal positions of the text fragments: lower, borderline tones on the left margin, and higher borderline tones on the right margin. Thus the disposition on the page, essential for Anne-Marie Albiach (and first introduced in poetry by Mallarme in Un coup de des jamais n'abolira le hasard), is rendered in sound. Naturally each element of the text serves to mould structure and dynamics, to include the typography: fragments within quotation marks, in italics, etc., yield different sonorities and movements. Whereas the ensemble articulates rhythmically each character of the text, the rhythms of the solo flute articulate only its syllables and words. Each word of the author's reading of the text is instrumentated differently, which is important for the entire cycle. Thus a compact network of instrumental combinations is created in which, word for word, the text is made audible.

Costa Del Sol (Coast of the Sun) creates a musical panorama of the beautiful Mediterranean coastline of the Málaga province in southern Spain. Based upon series of chord progressions common to generations of Spanish flamenco guitarist, David Shaffer has crafted a spirited and beautiful setting of three authentic Spanish folk dance forms, the Corrida, Jota and the Fandango. This energetic and captivating composition opens with a fiery statement reminiscent of the traditional Spanish bullfights. A quick folk dance in ¾ (Jota) follows, utilizing traditional Spanish percussion. The middle section is introduced with a lush alto saxophone solo leading into a lyrical folk dance (Fandango). The fiery Jota returns in two separate but distinct forms to conclude the piece. An excellent contest piece, Costa Del Sol will captivate your audiences with the beautiful imagery of the Spanish countryside.
