Inleiding
Greece as a point of reference: Xenakis, Skalkottas, Aperghis, and a commissioned work by Eleni Ralli combine sonic power, structure, and movement.
The third program of the season combines works from the 20th and 21st centuries and focuses on Greece as a cultural and artistic point of reference. The program centers on compositions by Iannis Xenakis and Nikos Skalkottas, whose music, in different ways, seeks new sonic and structural orders beyond traditional compositional models.
Xenakis’s “Dhipli Zyia” (1951) for violin and cello demonstrates, even at an early stage, a way of thinking in terms of sonic forces and tensions that is shaped less by melodic development than by density, friction, and movement. This perspective is further refined in “Ikhoor” (1978) for string trio, where the instruments are treated as sonic fields and parameters such as glissandi, articulation, and the flow of energy serve to shape the structure.
Skalkottas’s Duo (1938) for violin and viola, as well as String Trio No. 2 (1935), stand in contrast to this with a nuanced blend of structural clarity and expressive intensity. His music combines influences of the Second Viennese School with rhythmic conciseness and a chamber-music-inspired, condensed language.
Georges Aperghis’ “Faux Mouvement” (1995) adds a perspective to the program that centers on movement and perception. Linear development gives way to processes, shifts, and a play on expectations.
A new commissioned work by the Basel-based Greek composer Eleni Ralli expands the program to include a contemporary perspective and extends the artistic questions into the present.
