Work Overview
This work is inspired by the art making process of Utopia region
aboriginal artist Emily Kame Kngwarreye which involved the
creation of an image that was then painted over with an explosion
of dots. This process of "colouring in" gradually masked what lay
beneath to create another overlaid story. Her works are
intensely
spiritual with a strong sense of serene beauty and harmony. This
process of colouring and becoming is an essential element of this
concerto in which the resonant and melodic qualities of the solo
instrument gradually unfold an underlying theme which is coloured
and masked to create a "sound snapshot" of the colouring in of
the night sky.
Work Details
Year: 2003
Duration: 9-10 min.
This is a short version of the Bass Clarinet Concerto of the same name. The work is in two parts. Parts one and two can be performed together or separately on the same program or as single works. Part 2 in particular is designed as a fanfare style work with solo instrument. It will work well if used in this way as a single work.
