Description:
This album contains three works with the unique composition of "violin and percussion orchestra. This novel combination was conceived by Lou Harrison in 1959, and his experimental use of sound, which was rooted in the classical music tradition while at the same time favoring the sounds of oriental instruments, has certainly influenced the next generation of composers. In this Harrison concerto, in addition to traditional instruments such as cymbals, maracas, gongs, tam-tams, and bass drums, he uses two suspended wash tubs, two resonating clock coils, and six flowerpots, as well as a double bass placed on its back and struck with sticks. The melody of the solo violin is colored by Robert Zeivia Rodriguez, born in 1946, a composer who studied with Nadia Boulanger and Elliott Carter. This "Shochiquetzal," a concerto for violin and percussion sextet, is a technical work that uses many exotic melodies derived from Mexican folk songs, as in the title taken from the name of the ancient Mayan goddess of music, dance, beauty, love, and fertility.Born in 1975, Agócs is a female composer of Hungarian and American parents. This concerto, featuring five timpani, xylophone, vibraphone, marimba, six different cymbals, and violin played by six percussionists, was commissioned by the Fromm Music Foundation. The entire piece is compact, and the intense and powerful rhythms in the final movement show the Hungarian blood running through her veins. The richness of expression throughout the work is astonishing. Naxos Japan
