Dear Friends,
As I told you in my last post, weekly I'm revealing and presenting the videos from the premiere of Crossed Lines. This week I'm presenting you Canto by David Philip Hefti, a short but effective piece that we thought it would be the the perfect opening piece for our evening. Full of precisely chosen multiphonics that creates an medieval inspired harmony, this piece sets the environment for a full evening of creation.
In the composers website, we can find this information about this piece:
"Canto – for solo bass clarinet was composed in 2012 and is dedicated to the clarinettist Elmar Schmid. Three basic tempos alternate constantly in this one-movement composition. Two of them are related by a ratio of three (presto = 132 / lento = 44), and here the focus is on the tenuto, cantabile passages. The third tempo depends on the abilities and the physique of the performer, since the phrases in question have to be played in a single breath. The extensive use of multiphonics produces echoes of mediaeval polyphony. The musical material was derived from the name of the dedicatee."
