Program Notes
Falcones Luminis (“Falcons of Light”) - In medieval Christianity, the falcon is a general symbol of the Holy Spirit and represents a Christian convert who now has the hope of salvation. When a falcon is pictured wearing a hood, it represents hope in the light, which is Christ in spite of the surrounding night. Christopher Rouse creates a sonic depiction of the Holy Spirit spinning towards the light; by creating cacophonous rhythms and dissonance within the pitch content, the piece gradually overcomes darkness and chaos by merging into the key of C major. Falcones Luminis employs and interesting array of percussive sounds including a variety of metalophones, gamelan style button gongs, tam-tams, bull roarer, unusual metals played on the timpani, and in the final few moments a baby toy from the 1970’s called a Happy Apple, which has numerous metal chimes inside.
