Sheet Music: ScoreQi colour from hidden resonances : for piano / Bruce Crossman.by Bruce Crossman (2010)
|
Product details
This piece was written for my friend and University of Western
Sydney colleague, Diana
Blom, for her China-Australia exchange project. The work was
inspired by the Chinese
literati philosophy where subtle hidden sounds of yun sit
alongside more robust qi energy.
Hidden half timbres from rubber-stopped and finger-dampened
strings, as well as silently
undampened strings as resonators for attack dyad resonances
gradually build to and decay
from juxtaposed colour blocks of sound strewn across wide
resonances as a type of qi
inspired energy. Chinese modes in joyous linear bursts in the
treble register heighten the
exuberance. The wild juxtapositions draw on the free
improvisation of MMW (Medeski,
Martin and Wood) as much as Chinese literati philosophy. The work
closes with a return
to the hidden resonances, but, with high melodic modal touches
imitative of birds
awakening the bush at the base of the Blue Mountains on my
morning run.
