vcomposers note
Of the three wind instruments in Through a Glass Darkly, it is
the accordion and its physical construction that shapes the drama
of the piece. The stage choreography and the stark, forceful
instrumental lines are designed in such a way that the clarinet and
trumpet musically pierce through the box-like shape that is the
accordion. Towards the end, trumpet and clarinet are both
effectively absorbed by the accordions box as all instruments
combine in pitch and timbre. This piece is a journey where three
instruments shatter the glass darkly in order to bring about a
unification of the trio.
notiz des komponisten
Unter den drei Blasinstrumenten im Stck Through a Glass Darkly
ist die Ziehharmonika die dramatische Prima Donna. Die
Bh-nenchoreographie und der karge, kraftvolle, instrumentale Text
sind so bestimmt, dass Klarinette und Trompete musikalisch ein Loch
in den schachtelfrmigen Krper der Ziehharmonikas bohren. Gegen das
Ende zu sind Trompete und die Klarinette praktisch von der
Ziehhar-monika absorbiert, wenn sich alle Instrumente in Tonhhe und
Klangfarbe vereinen. Dieses Werk symbolisiert einen Weg, in dem
drei Instrumente den blinden Spiegel sprengen, um eine Vereinigung
des Trios zustande zu bringen.
