In 1989
when Louis Andriessen was
teaching at the State
University of New York at
Buffalo, Miles Davis
Autobiography was
published.While reading
it, he suddenly knew what
the subject of his piece
for the Kronos Quartet
should be - early be-bop
licks and especially the
work of Charlie Parker.
He wanted to do the
impossible - be-bop is
not at all idiomatic for
string instruments. But
be-bop had been an
important influence on
his musical development
when he was young, and he
decided to do something
with this music from his
youth. Basically the
essence of Charlie
Parker's playing is the
extremely fast tempo.
This fast tempo is really
fast, because the playing
is based upon the chord
structure of existing
melodies which are
sometimes played two or
three times as fast as
normal. Parker needed
speed to express what he
musically felt: little
time was left for him.
This is the main
explanation of the title
of the work.In the
beginning of Facing
Death, Andriessen
literally quotes
fragments of Charlie
Parker improvisations. He
also quotes one original
melody: Ornithology
(which is based on How
High the Moon). The 7th
and 8th bars of
Ornithology become an
important motif inthe
piece. The whole
composition is one long
development in Parker's
fast tempo. This work was
composed in 1990 for
string quartet and later
arranged for saxophone
quartet.
