Encounter : for a recorder solo, (1973) / Walter Hekster

Overige auteurs:
Hekster, Walter (Componist)
Toelichting:
Program note (English): Encounter was written for the Canadian recorder-player Gilles Plante, who also premiered the piece. The composition was inspired by my impressions of nature in the dense Canadian forest of Lake McDonald, here it was conceived. Nevertheless, it is not a musical portrayal of the many birdsongs, nor of the wind rustling through the trees, nor the stillness on the lake, though all these things exerted a strong influence on the sounds gestures, and tone-figures in Encounter.
Subtle colours and articulations alternate quickly with harsh sounds which can be played to the extreme. Only the glissando-like passages should never be sharply defined, and the accented notes of the end of a glissando do not have to be pure and detached, but should rather tend to tune towards the principal note. - WALTER HEKSTER
