More about Strahan's 'ESCORTS' Trio for flute, alto saxophone and piano (1989) An Opera Without Words in 5 Acts. Duration around 12'00'. 1. The Quarrel 2. Rough Trade 3. The Tourist 4. The Chauvinist 5. The Reconciliation The flute is cast in the role of Ms. Treble Clef. The alto saxophone plays multiple roles: the Composer, and a series of males by whom Ms Clef is escorted. The work makes use of polyphonic and polymetric devices to tell a gender specific romantic story of heterosexual love lost and love regained. Flute and alto saxophone engage in recurring 'dialogues' in which musical phrases mimic the inflexions and rhythms of speech. A recurring device is the use of tremolo piano chords to suggest a phone ringing. A staccato piano chord depicts the phone being slammed down to terminate each conversation. Phone conversations between the Composer and Ms Clef serve as linking episodes between each act. The Composer's theme is voiced by the saxophone in fragments during these conversations, and eventually emerges as a flowing melody in the final act. In Act One, the Composer quarrels with his girl, the flighty and unpredictable Ms Treble Clef. Fragments of themes and motivic ideas emerge and are thrown around in a maelstrom of nervous energy. Ms Clef leaves. The Composer regrets her departure and phones her. She immediately hangs up on hearing his voice. In Act Two, Ms Clef, determined not to be lonely, throws herself into a busy social life and soon meets another man. Revving riffs suggest a bikie who likes rock'n roll. His theme is is heard to a 50s triple beat rock rhythm, firstly a blues tune voiced with diatonic confidence. The harmonic basis becomes much less secure when it tries to repeat itself, and a quarrelling dialogue is heard over the rock'n roll beat. The music disintegrates. The Composer phones and tries to have a conversation with Ms Clef. As before she hangs up immediately on hearing his voice. Act Three finds Ms Clef in the company of a tourist from another country, an Asian, whose manners and whose persona appeal - for a while. She is impressed by his tune - a muzak of hotels and expensive restaurants.To the bewilderment of the well-meaning tourist, however, Ms Clef's unpredictable temperament causes waves, and this relationship, too, ends in confusion. The Composer again phones Ms. Clef. This time a very short exchange is allowed, before she again hangs up on him. Act Four brings Ms Clef closer to permanence when she meets a traditional male chauvinist. His tune even works in counterpoint tothe melody of Mendelssohn's Wedding March, but the accentuated flattened ninth at the beginning of the counterpoint spells doom, and, to the dismay of the intending groom, the march steps falter, stumble, and collapse in chaos, as a violent argument takes place, the notion of marriage being clearly rejected. The Composer phones again. This time she is more receptive, and we are permitted to hear a few more cadences of the composers theme, which are echoed, suggesting that a meeting will take place. In Act Five, the Composer and Ms Treble Clef meet again, and a reconciliation very quickly leads to a romantic duet, which in turns gives way to a passionate and pulsing Coda, involving rising swing music chords and a repeating triple figure over a rhythmic pedal bass.

Cordatum
CORDATUM - JAVIER BRAVO (GUITAR) ARGENTINE MUSIC COLLECTION VOL. II THE CONTEMPORARY GUITAR  , , ,This disc is part of a research project about avant-garde guitar music in Argentina and it includes works composed between 1974 and 2011. Many of these guitar works are recorded for the first time on CD and some of them remain unpublished .They are pieces of great artistic value and despite the great the development of classical guitar world, are not yet known or broadcast. We hope that this album contribute to the diffusion and promotion of contemporary Argentine art, it's excellent works and creators. The twentieth century was the scene of great changes in all spheres, many new movements have arisen in politics, science and art. Notably, the second half of the century is a turning point in the emergence of new concepts in music: the appearance of indeterminacy in various musical parameters, the development of serialism and other highly refined organizational systems, the enrichment of timbre through new instrumental techniques and electronics and, finally the coexistence of the styles of all times and all countries.  , , ,In Argentina we can find a turning point in the creation of the Instituto Di Tella and it's Latin American Center for Advanced Musical Studies. Despite it's relatively brief period of activity (1962-1971) it exerted a decisive influence on Latin American music and other arts of the time, stimulating the creation, communication and exchange between composers of our continent and the rest of the world. ,  , ,The guitar, instrument of long tradition and popularity in Argentina in all musical genres, had it's repertoire enriched with many creations that incorporate new expressive possibilities through timbral innovation, an unprecedented evolution of musical notation, and experiments with new ways of structuring musical material.  , , ,This creative impulse remains over time and reaches the XXI century, where all these trends converge, develop and manifest according to the personality of each composer, resulting in a wide range of artistic expressions. JORGE TSILICAS (Buenos Aires 1930 - Buenos Aires 1995) Monologues (1974) Jorge Tsilicas studied composition with Jacobo Ficher, Francisco Kröpfl and Enrique Belloc in Argentina. Later he studied with Boris Porena and Franco Donatoni in Italy. He devoted much of their production to the guitar, including works for solo guitar, duets and quartets. His works are written in an atonal style, exploring the timbral possibilities of the guitar and experimenting with different degrees of formal indeterminacy (Spiral, Perikiklosis). Dedicated to argentine guitarist Irma Costanzo, Monologues is a piece organised in three movements: The first have a fragmentary and energetic character. This movement is structured in series of short gestures consisting of chords, note sets and percussive effects. A sense of agitation is achieved through continuous dynamic contrast and permutation of elements, evolving over a harmonic texture based mainly in minor second and augmented fourth intervals. The second movement, Moderato, based on the same harmonic elements, conveys a more contemplative, lyrical mood, with a greater sense of continuity of the elements. It's third movement, Presto, shares sound gestures with other movements but it is characterized by the use of fast passages in a toccata or cadenza style in most of the movement. JAVIER BRAVO (Buenos Aires * 1972) Distance (2006)-Toccata (2004) Javier Bravo studied composition with Rodolfo Daluisio and wrote works for various instrumental ensembles ranging from solo instruments to symphonic and electroacoustic music. His musical language is inspired by popular Argentine music and jazz, together with sound resources and procedures of contemporary music. Distance explores the harmonic and resonance possibilities of guitar through a twelve-tone based structure. Written on a lyrical and contemplative style, this piece refers to rhythmic gestures of zamba, a very traditional Argentine folk dance. In contrast to Distance, Toccata expresses a climate of agitation: it begins with short chord sequences in fortissimo, which alternate with extensive passages based on the idea of continuous motion. The work, of great virtuosity, grows in tension through numerous meter changes, polymetric passages, multiple string tremolos and strumming chords. Based on a twelve-tone structure, this work is built over concepts of free atonality. FERNANDO ROVETTA (* 1968) 'Two Pieces for Guitar' (1994) Graduated from IUNA with a Musical Arts degree, Fernando Rovetta studied composition with Juan Carlos Figueras, Pablo Cetta and Fernando Maglia. Awarded as composer on several ocassions, he gives seminars on contemporary music and participates as jury of guitar competitions. On "Two pieces for guitar ' the author says: 'The 'Two Pieces for Guitar '(1994) are rooted on tango music, exploring it's gestures, procedures and sound within a musical language lying between extended tonality and free atonalism. The first one, 'Transition', is developed through the interaction of a harmonic component (with the chord as support) and another melodic (a chromatic gesture linked to bandoneonist Anibal Troilo style). In the second piece, 'Recycling', motivic elements contrast themselves and cohere in the rhythmic aspect (supported in various stylistic resources). This work includes the phrasing and dynamic fluctuations of the tempo, typical of the genre.J avier Bravo's performing deeply understood the implications that have these formal aspects, resulting in an intense version, very rich in detail. ' SALVADOR RANIERI (Arena, Italy 1930 - Buenos Aires 2012) Cordatum (2005) Salvador Ranieri, was a prolific composer, with a catalog of more than 180 works, including symphonic and chamber music . He studied composition with Juan Francisco Giacobbe in Argentina and later with Goffredo Petrassi in Italy. He studied electronic music at the Institute di Tella through a scholarship, and then he continued working in that field at the Academy of Santa Cecilia (Rome). His style was defined several times as deeply expressive, driven by an intense inner dramatism. Cordatum is written in the manner of a fantasy, in a style full of passion and metric vitality. Chromatism, rhythmic insistence and percussive effects are characteristic of the author's style. The work, composed in 2005, was premiered by Javier Bravo in 2011. CECILIA FIORENTINO (Buenos Aires * 1962) Petite Suite (2011). I. Prelude II. Dance III. Aria IV. Final Cecilia Fiorentino graduated as Profesora Superior de Piano (1982) and Composition (1986) at the National Music Conservatory 'Carlos López Buchardo'. Noteworthy among her teachers are Fermina Casanova, Virtu Maragno, Alicia Terzián, Delia Castro, Isabel von Basenheim, Amalia Cascarini and Perla Brúgola. She is the author of some fifty works, most of them for chamber ensambles. As a composer, she has been awarded several times and she actively participates in composers' associations from Argentina. She teaches counterpoint and composition at several Buenos Aires' Conservatoires and has participated as jury in various composition competitions . On Petite Suite, the author tells us: 'Written in a free tonal style, this work- as almost every movement- express on it's titles, formal models that inspired it's composition: the single motive based structure in the first movement -resembling the style of many Baroque preludes-, the rhythmic and formal symmetry in the second movement -Dance-, and the characteristic accompanied melody texture in third movement titled Aria. The final movement consists of two parts: a free introduction in a fantasia style, and a 'fugatto' section to conclude. While it is not the first time I have included the guitar in one of my works, it is certainly the first time that I write a solo guitar piece. This has been for me, a unique challenge, that I hope to have withstood thanks to the valuable contr- Shop: odax
