Isolarion III
Beschrijving
Isolarion III is a transcription and re-composition of my orchestral work Isolarion: Rituals of Resonance (2013), which was itself an elaboration and expansion of an earlier brass quintet. This piece reduces what was a highly embellished, ornamented and colour-driven score to its essential constructive elements: lines and layers, which collide and cohere in a mercurially flowing continuity. The first movement of the orchestral version was dedicated to Pierre Boulez, who had commissioned work Isolarion: Rituals of Resonance through the Lucerne Festival Academy. In light of the recent news of his death, I dedicate this piano duo to his memory.
