Premiere
Mar. 16, 1988, North American New Music Festival, Buffalo, N.Y.; Lawrence Cherney, oboe d'amore.
Barry Truax

Commissioned by: Lawrence Cherney, with the assistance of the Canada Council for the Arts
“The tape portion is based entirely on short fragments or 'phonemes' of sounds from the two instruments used by the soloist, the oboe d'amore and English horn. Using granular synthesis these sounds were reconstructed to create a virtuosic environment with which the performer interacts. In this interaction, the progression from speeds and patterns within the performance range of the instrumentalist to those achievable only by the computer creates much of the underlying dramatic tension of the work. We sense the struggle of the performer to match the virtuosity of the tape part and to transcend the limitations of human performance…”

Tongues of Angels
, 1988 Commandée par : Lawrence Cherney, grâce à une subvention du Conseil des Arts du Canada « La section sur bande se compose entièrement de courts fragments de sons produits par les deux instruments employés par le soliste : le hautbois d’amour et le cor anglais. À l’aide de la « synthèse granulaire », les sons ont été reconstruits afin de créer un environnement virtuose avec lequel l’interprète entre en relation. Dans cette relation, la progression à partir des vitesses et des motifs à l’intérieur de l’écart de virtuosité de l’interprète à ceux atteignables seulement par l’ordinateur créé la plupart des tensions dramatiques sous jacentes de l’œuvre. On sent les efforts que fait le soliste pour égaler la virtuosité de la partie sur bande et pour transcender les limites techniques de l’être humain… »
