Harmonic
Gallery, commissioned
by Network for New Music
for premiere at the
Pennsylvania Academy of
Fine Arts, is a musical
analog of a museum
exhibition in which
paintings, sometimes
created hundreds of years
apart, are shown in close
proximity. There are
three movements,
surrounded by musical
frames. Minuetto is
reminiscent of the early
nineteenth century when
the minuet form started
to escape its rigid
formalities. Angst
recalls the early
twentieth century when
tonality supposedly
started to crumble. It is
based on famous harmonies
used by Richard Wagner
and Arnold Schoenberg.
Dance is unashamedly
post-minimal and
post-modern, and
celebrates repetition and
cadences. The four frames
comment on the harmonies
of the movements that
they surround.
The three
movements are very
loosely related to three
paintings in the
collection: The Gordon
Family, by Henry
Benbridge, ca. 1762;
Final Assault upon
Fort Fisher, North
Carolina, by Xanthus
Smith, ca. 187273;
Three Wise Men
Greeting Entry into
Lagos, by Kehinda
Wiley, 2008.
