Premiere
Ottawa Southam Hall 20 Apr 2017 NACO Alexander Shelley, cond.
Nature uses as little as possible of anything. Johannes Kepler.At the onset of this collaboration, choreographer Jean Grand Maître mailed me a large bundle of inspiring images and texts. The content was as diverse as it was beautiful: images of humanity, technology, nature, beauty, and violence, ranging from abstract to explicit. The unifying theme was that everything was related in some way to the golden ratio, or Phi. I am no stranger to Phi, having many years ago been seduced by what is often called ‘nature’s most beautiful proportion’. Bartok, Webern and Debussy are known to have used it in their works, usually as a formal proportion (where a musical climax will occur at the golden section, for example). For me, Phi was a catalyst and inspiration both in terms of both extra-musical beauty and literal usage in phi-inspired melodies and harmonies. The score is in three movements: 1: Rex, 2: Styx, and 3: Eden. The final movement features veiled electronic soundfiles created with recordings of poet Jill Battson reading quotes from mathematicians speaking about beauty, including “The laws of nature are but the mathematical thoughts of God”: Euclid.
