Program Notes
Elementalities is a set of short pieces, all based on different presentations and mutations of elements. The piece started with the idea of creating elements (short melodic and/or rhythmic fragments) and transforming them, and grew into a suite of five ˜mind games", all related to each other, but independent, such that any combination of movements may be played in concert. The outer movements, Elemental I and II, are concerned almost exclusively with basic presentation and permutation of elements. Elemental I offers four different unmetered settings of a set of elements, presenting them in different instruments, different orders and different registers. Elemental II treats a different set of elements to similar procedures, but places them in a metered setting. The second movement, Cereal, strings certain melodic and rhythmic elements of the other movements into a single melodic line. This melodic line is placed in one of several rhythmic/metric layers, and is then put through several serial permutations to create the structure. The middle movement, Floating, sets a rhapsodic flute line, drawn from the various elements of the other movements, floating above a mechanical, slowly changing background in the percussion. The fourth movement, Orange, gives the players basic materials and instructs them to improvise on them, in the way a rock band improvises on a melodic ˜lick" or chord progression. The piece was commissioned and premiered by Montreal's Lithium Ensemble (www.percussionist.net/lithium).
