For SATB choir, harp, violin, cello, and percussion MUSIC BY Katerina Gimon WORDS BY Yaya Yao
Duration ~7’30” Commissioned by The Orpheus Choir of Toronto; Robert Cooper, Artistic Director 2019 This score is not licensed for performance. Please visit MusicSpoke.com to purchase performance copies.
Instrumentation: SATB Harp (and soft mallet) Violin Cello Percussion (suspended cymbal, tam tam, bass drum, bow, triangle beater/coin, soft mallets, and superball mallet)
Percussion legend:
Text:
sound by Yaya Yao. From “Flesh, Tongue.” beneath throat, breath beneath breath, earth beneath earth, stone beneath stone, liquid beneath liquid, vein beneath vein, fire beneath fire, darkness beneath darkness the sound of beneath
Program note & compositional approach: Among other things, what drew me to Yaya's poem was its evocative natural imagery, use of repetition, and unique spatialization. I was interested in exploring how I might be able to convey these aspects musically; a unique challenge! After selecting this text, I spent a significant of time marking up a printed copy of the poem. This included highlighting key words, drawing images or marking descriptive words to show what a section might sound like (including their textures/densities), dividing the text into sections, and creating an overall shape for the piece. After this, I worked on creating the material for each section through a combinational of vocal and piano improvisation. For some portions I created my own 'mock ups’ to get a better sense of the effectiveness of certain ideas. Afterwards, I pieced everything together and chipped away to a final product that, I hope, conveys the earthly beauty and mystery of this poem!
