Mist Waves : Version for cello and piano / Douglas Knehans

Overige auteurs:
Knehans, Douglas (Componist)
Toelichting:
Mist Waves is a kind of loose chaconne whose veiled repetition of the initial eight bars forms the basis for the work. Sometimes this initial idea is repeated entirely, sometimes truncated sometimes expanded and all of the time at close interplay with the freely evolving violin line which acts as the expressive core of the work.
Mist Waves is really about land-based cloud and how this forms in waves sometimes thick and predictable and at other times lightening up and revealing more to us. This serves as a metaphor for me of a type of human consciousness and how things are known and unknown to us in mixtures—sometimes equal, frequently unequal—which creates the mystery and magic of life.
The work is dedicated to brilliant cellist Tess Remy-Schumacher who inspired the idea of making this version of this work.
