composition

Les Soupirs de Rameau : for harpsichord with multimedia / JacobTV - Jacob Ter Veldhuis

Author(s):
Veldhuis, Jacob ter (Composer)
Description:
The composition was inspired by ‘Les Soupirs’ from the Suite no.2, Pièces de Clavecin, 1724 by Jean Philippe Rameau. The work contains typical baroque characteristics, like symmetry, ornamentation, fugato structures, arpeggios, a basso continuo and a passacaglia. The harpsichord itself is subject of the work. The instrument was sampled in every possible way, by microphone and camera. The centrifugal music gradually transforms the small sound of the harpsichord into a mechanical monster that threatens to explode, whereas the images are much more centripetal, still and intimate, focalising.
