Number 5, 1950 was Mark
Rothko'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 this painting
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 be
background 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
and
electronically-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 a kind 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 a
polyphony 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 Luther

9.0x12.0x0.204
inches. Although
this is technically
Cowie's seventh string
quartet, it replaces his
earlier fourth quartet,
which he came to feel no
longer fit with his
compositional voice. The
quartet fluctuates
between a slow, luminous
sound and fast, agitated
music. Unlike much of
Cowie's work, this music
is abstracted from his
usual preoccupation with
the natural world,
turning instead to look
at an inner landscape.
The composer describes
the emotional force
behind his quartet: The
year 2009 was a terrible
year in which I lost
three close friends to
cancer and an elder
brother to Alzheimer's
disease. It was also a
year in which my wife was
diagnosed with breast
cancer; something from
which she has thankfully
made a great recovery. At
times like these,
emotions are sorely
tested and highlighted.
Four people I loved have
gone, so this music must
remain as testament not
to death, but to the
magnificent fragility and
loveliness of life. It
closes with a gentle and
almost vaporising
'benediction' a kind of
'amen' if you like. $73.00 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 24 hours - In Stock | | |

Staeliana was
commissioned by the
Fundacio Caixa de
Catalunya in 2007 for the
inauguration of an
exposition of the work of
Nicolas Staël at La
Pedrera, Barcelona. In
this work I wanted to
compose homage to a
painter who knew how to
join together in his
unique works both the
traditions of the past
along with the vanguard
of his time. Beginning
with figurative works
which lead toward
abstraction, his body of
work can be defined as a
contrast between these
two concepts which, with
extreme simplicity,
define his entire
artistic conception.
Staeliana, an expressive
chorale, at times both
luminous and dramatic,
dissolves into the most
minimal expression. From
the first joining
together of the voices it
concludes with utter
simplicity of expression.
The suicide of the artist
in 1955 is representative
of the dissolution of his
existence as well as of
his artistic works. This
contrast between
figurative and
abstraction is reflected
in the music by the
contrast between
stability and tension. I
believe that this duality
may be found both in his
work and in his life,
always oscillating
between living a creative
life or opting for death,
which may be seen as a
fusion in nothingness
with the plenitude of
purest simplicity. $28.95 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 4 to 6 weeks | | |
