Continental Prism
Written between February and September of 2008 as a doctoral thesis and commissioned by the clarinetist Carina Washington Prizm Ensemble (instrumental ensemble composed of professors from The University of Memphis). Continental Prism is a recreation of ethnic world music I've heard for several years, built with serialism parameters but with a tonal- modal point of view.
The piece is divided into seven movements, each of them associated with one of the seven colors that the human eye can see when white light is refracted.
In order to provide thematic unity between movements, at the beginning of each one a musical gesture which I associate with the "prism effect" is exposed.
Translated into musical language, I take the C major scale and I "refract" it into fifths by its 7 notes, assigning each of them to different continents and colors as follows:
1. Violet Antarctic - Do
2. North America Blue - Sol
3. Indigo Europe - Re
4. Central and South America Green - La
5. Asia Yellow - Mi
6. Australia Orange - Si
7. Red Africa - Fa
Prisma Continental
Escrita entre febrero y septiembre de 2008 como tésis doctoral, y comisionada por la clarinetista Carina Washington de Prizm Ensemble (ensamble instrumental integrado por profesores de The University of Memphis), Prisma Continental es una recreación de la música étnica del mundo que he escuchado durante varios años, construida bajo parámetros serialistas pero con un punto de vista tonal – modal.
La pieza está dividida en siete movimientos, cada uno de los cuales asociado con uno de los siete colores que el ojo humano puede ver al refractarse la luz blanca.
Con el fin de dar unidad temática entre los movimientos, al comienzo de cada uno se expone un gesto musical el cual asocio con el “efecto prisma”.
Traducido al lenguaje musical, tomo la escala de Do mayor y la “refracto” por quintas en sus 7 notas, asignando cada una de ellas a los distintos continentes y colores así:
1. Antártico Violeta – Do
2. Norte América Azul – Sol
3. Europa Índigo - Re
4. Centro y Sur América Verde – La
5. Asia Amarillo – Mi
6. Australia Naranja – Si
7. Africa Rojo - Fa
