CONCERT I: ELECTRO-COLORS
Seattle, WA - Seattle Modern Orchestra opens its 2014-2015 season with a U.S. premiere from Rome Prize winning American composer Huck Hodge. Hodge's Alêtheia for ensemble is a communicative, powerful and dramatic work that recently won the International Society for Contemporary Music's League of Composers Competition. Also on this program are works from two celebrated composers, Pierre Boulez and Tristan Murail. These two works, composed only 6 years apart, helped shape the progression of avant-garde music in France at that time. Boulez's jubilatory late period work Derive 1 (1984) exults warmth and radiance with simmering and shimmering textures of dovetailing ornate melodic figures supported by rich harmonic progression. Murail's 1978 work Treize couleurs du soleil couchant (thirteen colors of sundown) is a key piece of early Spectralism that will plunge the audience into the evocative power of the resonances of sound. In the European avant-garde scene, Treize couleurs helped change the course of contemporary music, marking the beginning of the rebellion against Serialism.
