Hexameron : 'Phagocitosis' : for orchestra / Jan Vriend

Auteur(s):
Vriend, Jan (Componist)
Toelichting:
(Première: 8 november 2008 - Muziekgebouw aan het IJ - Radio Filharmonisch Orkest o.l.v. Micha Hamel). The title 'Phagocitosis' indicates that the 'cell' of three notes (Pam-pa-Pam) acts more or less like phagocyte, a cell which engulfs foreign material in an organism or consumes debris and foreign bodies for destruction or expulsion. That is more or less what it does in my composition, with the difference that it is also ushers in several well known musical references which contain the cell (in their DNA!). In fact, the world of music is so full of tunes which contain the bug, that associations are almost inevitable. I didn't want to fight the invitations and, instead, let the floodgates open to see if an organism could be created out of the contamination process. So here is the ambiguity: destruction as a metabolism for construction - decomposition as a catalyst for composition. I leave it to my audiences to identify the various references - with apologies to the authors whose works I contaminated. - JAN VRIEND
