Sheet Music: ScorePulse • Heart • Beat : for mixed septet / Paul Stanhope.by Paul Stanhope (2005)
|
Product details
Pulse • Heart • Beat is a short, exhuberant work for chamber orchestra or mixed instrumental ensemble that explores the notions of pulse manifesting as both pitch and rhythm.
The piece opens like a machine
snorting and grunting and eventually kicking in. After the
initial dark texture with machine-like low pulses and high unison
lines, the piece gradually rises in register, letting in
more light through a series of process-driven episodes. Once the
piece reaches its highest register, a new section begins, which
sounds not dissimilar to a CD player with a skipping problem or a
bass guitar riff gone mad. Here a flamboyant Jimi Hendrix
inspired violin solo takes over, hurtling the piece back towards
the unison texture of the opening material.
