Title

CIRCLES OF LIGHT AND SOLAR WINDS

for 7 musicians

Description

For the 2025 edition of Echonance festival, Chiyoko Szlavnics will present new works that bring together and highlight five strings (violin, two violas, violoncello, contrabass), two euphoniums, and the Orgelpark’s two hyperorgans: Sauer and Utopa. A new series of drawings are the basis and inspiration for dramaturgical and harmonic considerations of Just Intonation (harmonic series derived) pitches, string scordature, and the unique timbres of all of the instruments. The music will at times be cyclical in nature, with variations (Circles of Light), at other times like gusts of wind from elsewhere (Solar Winds). She hopes this piece will provide refreshing and strengthening colour(s) in the depths of our dark blue Winter.
