Xenolith : for cor anglais, 1994 / Christina Oorebeek
Toelichting:
Program note (English): 'Xenolith' (stone on rock occurring in a system to which it does not belong - Oxford Dictionary) begins in a confined area of the lowest register of the cor anglais, delineated by sparse melodic cells, repeated notes and jagged rhythmic movements. Twice in chromatic sequences and inversions of the motivic material, an upward movement culminates in extended high notes, pulling away, as it were, from the low tones (measures 1-42 and 43-61). The accumulated tension finds its release in the 'Lamentoso' section, a repeated 'gesture of crying out' tempered by varied echoes of the first sections. The piece finds its solution in a amalgam of pianissimo repeated notes and chromatic motives culminating in sweeping arpeggios and fading serenely into the highest register of the instrument. - CHRISTINA VIOLA OOREBEEK
