Additional Information
Around the time I was writing this piece in 2012, I had recently completed a series of three chamber works inspired by the passage of the solstices and equinoxes: Solstice Songs, for the Gryphon Trio, The River is Within Us for Duo Concertante, and Still Turning, for cellist Frances-Marie Uitti. While composing these works, I came to find inspiration in the idea that phrases such as “the four corners of the earth”, “four horsemen”, and “four angels” can be interpreted beyond their caricature roles, echoing an ancient knowledge about astronomy and celestial movement which sets my creativity alight. I began to interpret the idea of the 4 horsemen in musical ways: The use of four large concert bass drums, four swinging crotales, and of course the actual recorded sounds of horses (and their modern-day equivalents which I interpreted to be motorcycles) making audible appearances in the electronics. The resulting piece is a fierce yet inquisitive modern work that is more about the joy and inspiration of scientific knowledge than about an apocalyptic vision of the end of the World. Four Horsemen was commissioned by the National Arts Centre Orchestra, Pinchas Zukerman, Music Director, and Musicfest Canada in honour of its 40th anniversary. A special thank you to Jason Caslor, Pace Sturdevant, and Mark Hopkins for their help in the creation of this work.
