about

Ilta (“evening” in Finnish) opens with gongs, alto flute, and vibes in a slowly unfolding texture based on the spectrum of pitches contained in the low C# and E gongs. It is largely consonant in a somewhat modal-sounding area of three or four sharps. The solo flute introduces a more angular, less tonal sounding music that, after a few interruptions, provides the basis for the active middle section featuring C flute and glockenspiel. Slowly, the glockenspiel reintroduces the pitch collection from the first section; after a brief transition, the low gong marks the last section as the opening texture returns, but with C flute. This last section, along with the modal inflections of the entire piece, recalled a specific image from a visit to Finland with my dad one summer: each evening, the sun would dip just below the horizon and the light would take on a quiet glow, never darkening completely. Previously released on Due East’s Simultaneous Worlds (Albany, 2010) and Apollo Duo’s Genesis (Avid Sound, 2015), this is the first live recording of Ilta. – D.M.
