John Luther Adams' The Immeasurable Space Of Tones for Violin Vibraphone Piano sustaining Keyboard and Contrabass. Duration: 30 minutes. 'Number 5 1950 was MarkRothko's last painting before the breakthrough into his mature format. In it the luminous color fields of a classic Rothko are inscribed across the middle with three delicate lines. Describing thispainting and its pivotal position in Rothko's work Brian O'Doherty observes: 'After this the lines disappear completely.' In recent years gesture and figuration have disappeared from my music. What used to bebackground has emerged to become a musical world composed entirely of floating color fields. In this new world I've changed media moving from the orchestra to smaller combinations of acoustical instruments andelectronically-processed sounds. I still think in orchestral terms but this hybrid medium allows me to create orchestral textures for more practical and readily available ensembles. Initially I imagined this as akind of monolithic music -an entire piece as one rich and complex sound. Then I came to hear it as homophonic or heterophonic. And now -in this musical world that I thought was completely free of lines -I've come to hear apolyphony of harmonic clouds. Maybe the lines never disappear completely. Maybe Christian Wolff was right when he quipped: 'No matter what we do sooner or later it all sounds melodic'.' - John LutherAdams

Dans la méditation une passacaille est construit sur la base de douze groupes différents dans le piano, la série commence dans la troisième barre après une brève introduction, est complètement répété trois fois, et en contrepoint de la mélodie vibraphone jamais transformer. Encadrement du mouvement de l'introduction est répétée à la fin.Le caractère de la deuxième mouvement Ostinato est moulé par un ascendant de quatre notes motif contrasté par un amortisseur-pédalé huit ton séquence se développer en une courte mélodie. Grâce à de nombreuses interactions de cette idée musicale du compositeur déploie une amusante Rondo qui intègre aussi des rythmes de jazz.Daniela Koreimann / Vibraphone Et Piano
