Echo : for violin and piano / Bianca Bongers

Author(s):
Bongers, Bianca (Composer)
Description:
Echo is linked to Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck and his ‘Echo Fantasias’, where he used the different registers of the organ resembling this effect. The idea of an echo, which naturally has a spatial character by sound traveling within a certain space, is something very applicable to my way of thinking. In this piece I was looking for different types of the echo, as ‘an echo on Sweelinck’. To get in touch with the space that surrounded him during his life, I made a walk from his house at Koestraat 15 to the ‘Oude Kerk’ in Amsterdam, where he worked as an organ player for 40 years. This five minute walk is exactly the time stretch of this piece, that I followed during composing.
