Streicher / StringsIn my Symphony I explore the complex interaction of several
compositional strategies. Whereas the organisation of the pitches is
inspired by the colourful sonic world of spectral music, dynamics and
form are based on a strictly structured framework.
In a central moment of the first movement a quotation from "Der
Abschied" from the Song of the Earth" by Gustav Mahler is heard,
surrounded by colourful textures - a tribute to Mahler who died in 1911,
exactly 100 years ago.
The second movement is slow and is based upon a gesture from "Der
Abschied". This gesture is slowed down and gradually opens the view
into an enchanting soundscape. There is no obvious metrum that can be
felt; it seems to be an endless moment. To contrast this, the third
movement employs strong rhythmic textures such as a bongo solo
accompanied by the orchestra. From time to time, the rhythmic
material stops, allowing space for reminiscences of the floating second
movement to return.Piano Concerto
