Bus ride scribblings.

Top of the page is the First "Beautiful" Melody for the Kammerwerke piece (oh!  Too few of the group will be around in August, and I am told they will read my incipit in September).

Fourth staff is the chorale (m.65ff.)

I think I may not actually have used the material on the fifth staff just yet . . . .

Quote from: karlhenning on July 08, 2015, 03:40:53 PM
And the one in between, no. 14:

So, the story of № 14 . . . I was telling Maria about the "project," a set of 20 pieces of 15 seconds' duration each.  And, having a lively wit, she joked on the order of a piece consisting of a whole-note chord sustained for 15 seconds . . . and I did begin to think of a minimal piece.  The amusing (to me, anyway) thing about Waiting is, my first draught cast the first measure in 5/4, the first chord repeated in two quarter-notes, the second chord a third quarter-note, and then back to the original chord for a half-note.  But when I played it, I felt it was far too busy and rushed — hence the metrical and rhythmic modification to the present 7/4 bar.  That 'problem' solved, the rest of the piece came fairly readily . . . I knew right away that I wanted to "trough down" to a simple interval at the start of measure 2.  At first, I had both hands strike on beat 4, but I felt right away that this would be too "square";  so having the left hand anticipate by a beat felt immediately apt.

Too purposeful, and thus contrary to the idea of the piece.

The end is in sight . . . on the bus this morning, I composed the 20th (and last), and drew up nearly two measures of the penultimate, which will be basis enough to improvise the rest of it when I return home this afternoon.

For those who wish, the MIDI extrusions of Nos. 1 through 18 are on YouTube.

Tentative thoughts:

1. I do think I like all the twenty pieces as they are.

2. Maybe I want to rearrange them slightly.  I.e., do I really want the cycle to end with Starless Summer Night?

Very interestingly . . . when I posted the news of the completed Op.131 on Facebook, one of the responses was flutist Orlando Cela (whom I met at last, in Lowell earlier this year) asking, "And where is my flute piece?"  (He had not asked me for a flute piece previously.)  So . . . about to get to work on a 7-minute piece for two flutes.

QuoteThanks, Karl!

Love the idea of the "mirror canon" (if I may call it that) at the beginning.  Very cool interplay of timbres as the voices come together!  Can't wait to get the entire work...

And I have an ideal partner to play this with!
