about

The echo begins with the first sound, and shadows it. Music became an essential part of life when man realized sound as an idea, and not an accident. Ideas are echoes that ricochet without regard for time, space, or place. They are transcendental, transportational, transformational. Echoes haunt this program, this music—four contemporary compositions separated by three transmissions from the past. —
The tonal shades and chiaroscuro of Hugues Dufourt's Quatuor de saxophones, where dynamics, harmonies, and timbres all effect the mood, are counter-balanced by hymn-like interludes, moving four voices en masse towards an ambiguous reminiscence. Is it of the past ? of the future ? Or an echo of both ?
Art Lange
