about

CAMILLE (2010)
Flute, Alto Sax, Violin, Cello and Piano 4-Hands

Divided into three sections, Camille follows a fast-slow-fast form, titled Vitality-Tranquility-Triumph.

Each movement borrows from the Afro-Cuban rhythmic pattern called clave. This rhythm is often layered 3-2 in one instrument over 2-3 in another. As in the optical illusions created by M.C. Escher’s illustrations, here the ear can choose to focus on a 3-2 or a 2-3 pattern somewhat like the eye focusing on a white fish or brown fish in his wood cuts. These clave patterns are also spread between many instruments using the medieval hocket technique. Traditionally the clave rhythm is performed “linearly” by one instrument, usually a woodblock.

Camille was composed for Piccola Accademia degli Specchi in 2010 and premiered November 14, 2010 at Teatro Quirino, Rome, Italy.
