Live Music For Dance
Award commissioning
grant, Not Alone is
inspired by the ancient
Chinese poet Li Bai's
poem Drinking Alone under
the Moon with the Shadow.
The premiere was given on
April 26, 2014 by the
PRISM Quartet with the
Nai-Ni Chen Dance
Company, which
commissioned the work to
celebrate its 25th
Anniversary NYC Season.
From the Program Note by
Matthew Levy (The PRISM
Quartet), Not Alone
(2014) is an
interdisciplinary
work...but it stands
alone in a chamber music
setting. The work spans a
stunning range of
textures, from
introspective solos for
each of the four
saxophones to majestic
hyper-active gestures.
The PRISM Quartet
recorded Not Alone for a
2017 release on XAS
Records titled Paradigm
Lost. But we're excited
for a wider community of
saxophonists to embrace
the work, and share it
with their own audiences.
Not Alone is published
together with Happy
Birthday to PRISM, a
brief miniature that Chen
Yi wrote for the
quartet's 20th
anniversary celebration
in 2004. For advanced
performers.______________

PRISM for Saxophone
QuartetNot Alone is a
14-minute saxophone
quartet and dance score
inspired by the ancient
Chinese poet Li
Bai’s
“Drinking Alone
under the Moon with the
Shadow.†The
expansively-textured sax
quartet matches the
exploratory and dramatic
movements and gestures in
the dance. NOT ALONE was
commissioned by the
Nai-Ni Chen Dance Company
which premiered the work
in collaboration with the
PRISM Quartet. Also
included in this
publication is Chen
Yi’s fascinating
take on “Happy
Birthday to You,â€
composed in celebration
of Prism’s 25th
anniversary season. A
recipient of the New
Music USA 2013 Live Music
For Dance Award
commissioning grant, Not
Alone is inspiredby the
ancient Chinese poet Li
Bai’s poem
“Drinking Alone
under the Moon with the
Shadow.†The
premierewas given on
April 26, 2014 by the
PRISM Quartet with the
Nai-Ni Chen Dance
Company, which
commissioned thework to
celebrate its 25th
Anniversary NYC
Season. Program Note
by composer Chen YiThe
original inspiration for
this work for both the
choreographer and the
composer came from the
Tang Dynasty poem - Alone
Under the Moon by Li Bai.
The poem describes the
poet being alone in a
garden. The moon and his
shadow became his
companions that night.
The choreographer brings
this idea to modern life
in an urban setting. She
created a series of
“mindscapesâ€
which are the result of
the exploration of the
different mental and
physical states of being
alone.Through
self-examination, the
choreographer raises the
question: are we ever
really alone? Our
physical being may be
standing by itself, but
what about our
introspective self? When
we are still, we let our
thoughts pass by like
flowing water. If we
could engage with our
shadows, what would it be
like?Program Note by
Matthew Levy, The PRISM
QuartetThe PRISM Quartet
has commissioned a great
many composers since our
founding days in 1984.
Chen Yi is among ahandful
of our very favorites,
and one to whom
we’ve returned
time and time again. Her
music is powerful,
expansive,intimate, and
draws connections between
Eastern and Western,
ancient and modern
traditions in a voice all
her own.Chen Yi has
written or adapted four
works for the PRISM
Quartet. She penned a
wonderful miniature
called HappyBirth day to
PRISM to celebrate the
ensemble’s 20th
anniversary back in 2004
(Dedication, Innova
Recordings).We
subsequently commissioned
her to compose Septet
(2008) for Erhu, Pipa,
Percussion, and Saxophone
Quartet(2008), premiered
and recorded with the New
York ensemble Music From
China (Antiphony, Innova
Recordings 2010).In 2015,
the PRISM Quartet
performed and recorded
(XAS Records) a new
version of her saxophone
quartet concerto,BA YIN,
with the University of
Missouri-Kansas City Wind
Ensemble under the baton
of Steven Davis
(originally writtenfor
the Rascher Quartet and
scored for saxophones and
string
orchestra.).Finally, Not
Alone (2014) is an
interdisciplinary work
written for the Nai-Ni
Chen Dance Company with
the PRISMQuartet, but it
stands alone in a chamber
music setting. The work
spans a stunning range of
textures, from
introspectivesolos for
each of the four
saxophones to majestic
hyper-active gestures.
The PRISM Quartet
recorded Not Alonefor a
2017 release on XAS
Records titled Paradigm
Lost. But we’re
excited for a wider
community of saxophonists
toembrace the work, and
share it with their own
audiences.In his liner
notes for the recording,
WNYC’s John
Schaefer writes:
“As with much of
her music, Chen employs
percussiveeffects and
glissandi; in Chinese
music these are not
considered
“extended
techniques†or
special effects, but
animportant part of the
performer’s
arsenal. Here, they help
create the twilit mood of
the opening moments. The
piecesoon becomes more
dramatic, suggesting the
arrival of the
drinker’s
companions (real or
imagined) and his or
herincreasingly garrulous
outbursts. Passages of
consonance and discord
can easily be heard as
companionable singingand
bouts of drunken
argument. The piece
bustles along on a kind
of restless energy,
until, finally, that
restlessnesssubsides,
giving way to a gently
humorous ending where a
short falling phrase
signals the drinker
falling
asleep.â€.

Conte
xtures: Riots -Decade '60
was commissioned by Zubin
Mehta and the Southern
California Symphony
Association after the
successful premiere of
the Concerto for Four
Percussion Soloists and
Orchestra. It was written
during the spring and
summer months of 1967.
Riots stemming from
resentment against the
racial situation in the
United States and the war
in Vietnam were occurring
throughout the country
and inevitably invaded
the composer's creative
subconscious.
Contextures, as the title
implies, was intended to
exploit various and
varying textures. As the
work progressed the
correspondence between
the fabric of music and
the fabric of society
became apparent and the
allegory grew in
significance. So I found
myself translating social
aspects into musical
techniques. Social
stratification became a
polymetric situation
where disparate groups
function together. The
conflict between the
forces of expansion and
the forces of containment
is expressed through and
opposition of tonal
fluidity vs. rigidity.
This is epitomized in the
fourth movement, where
the brass is divided into
two groups - a muted
group, encircled by the
unmuted one, which does
its utmost to keep the
first group within a
restricted pitch area.
The playful jazzy bits
(one between the first
and second movements and
one at the end of the
piece) are simply saying
that somehow in this age
of turmoil and anxiety
ways of having fun are
found even though that
fun may seem
inappropriate. The piece
is in five movements,
with an interlude between
the first and second
movements. It is scored
for a large orchestra,
supplemented by six
groups of percussion,
including newly created
roto-toms (small tunable
drums) and some original
devices, such as muted
gongs and muted
vibraphone. There is also
an offstage jazz quartet:
bass, drums, soprano
saxophone and trumpet.
The first movement begins
with a solo by the first
clarinetist which is
interrupted by
intermittent heckling
from his colleagues
leading to a
configuration of large
disparate elements. The
interlude of solo violin
and snare-drum follows
without pause. The second
movement, Prestissimo, is
a display piece of
virtuosity for the entire
orchestra. The third
movement marks a period
of repose and reflection
and calls for some
expressive solos,
particularly by the horn
and alto saxophone. The
fourth movement opens
with a rather lengthy
oboe solo, which is
threatened by large
blocks of sound from the
orchestra, against an
underlying current of
agitated energy in the
piano and percussion.
This leads to a section
in which large orchestral
forces oppose one
another, ultimately
bringing the work to a
climax, if not to a
denouement. Various
thematic elements are
strewn all over the
orchestra, resulting in
the formation of a
general haze of sound. A
transition leads to the
fifth movement without
pause. The musical haze
is pierced gently by the
offstage jazz group as if
they were attempting to
ignore and even dispel
the gloom, but a legato
bell sound enters and
hovers over both the jazz
group and the orchestra,
the latter making
statements of disquieting
finality. Two films were
conceived to accompany
portions of Contextures.
The first done by Herbert
Kosowar, was a
chemography film
(painting directly into
the film using dyes and
various implements) with
fast clips of riot
photographs. The second
was a film collage made
by photographically
abstracting details from
paintings of Reginald
Pollack. The purpose was
to invoke a non-specific
response - as in music -
but at the same time to
define the subject matter
of the piece. The films
were constructed to
correspond with certain
developments in the piece
and in no way affect the
independence and musical
flow of the piece, having
been made after the piece
was completed.
Contextures: Riots -
Decade '60 is dedicated
to Mehta, the Southern
California Symphony
Association and the Los
Angeles Philharmonic
Orchestra. The news of
the assassination of Dr.
Martin Luther King came
the afternoon of the
premiere, April 4, 1968.
That evening's
performances, and also
the succeeding ones, were
dedicated to him and a
special dedication to Dr.
King has been inserted
into he score. All the
music that follows the
jazz group - beginning
with the legato bell
sound playing the first 2
notes to We shall
overcome constitutes a
new ending to commemorate
Dr. King's death.
