Programme

Philip Glass Music in Similar Motion
Louis Andriessen Hoketus

Music in Similar Motion
"The real innovation in "Similar Motion" is its sense of drama. The earlier pieces were meditative, steady-state pieces that established a mood and stayed there. But "Similar Motion" starts with one voice, then adds another playing a fourth above the original line, and then another playing a fourth below the original line, and finally a bass line kicks in to complete the sound. As each new voice enters, there is a dramatic change in the music."
— Philip Glass

Hoketus
In Hoketus, the foundational element is the hocket technique. This technique, in use since the Middle-Ages, is characterised by the division of the notes of a melody over multiple performers. In Hoketus, the ensemble is split up in two identical groups (consisting of panflute, tenor saxophone, Fender piano, piano and conga's), which don't play simultaneously but rather complement each other. However, there is a catch: Hoketus, in terms of harmony and melody offers a more spiced-up variant of Amerrican minimalism.
