SHUT UP AND LISTEN! AWARD 2012
Aurélio Edler-Copes (BR/F)
Cantiga - For accordion and sound projection
Cantiga
for accordion and sound projection
In "Cantiga" (“Song”) I have taken as reference the Cantigas de Santa Maria, of Alfonso X
- in particular those of number 1, 252, and 326 - with the aim of bringing to mind
archaic sonorities establishing a dialogue with the sound universe of the electronic
music.
The accordion seemed to me the ideal instrument due to its high pitch and technical
potentials which allow it to approach some textures typical of the electronic music as
the same time as it creates sounds and articulations close to instruments of medieval
music.
