Soul Garden takes place in a world where definite meets indefinite, where tonality converges with music created from sliding pitches. Seizing on string instruments’ ability to slide between notes, Bermel creates (with affectionate homage to Gershwin’s "Porgy and Bess") a burnished alto gospel singer from a viola, a rumbling church baritone from a cello. Inflections characteristic of gospel music are notated by precisely defined glissandi, quarter-tones and techniques such as stomping and striking the body of the instruments. The tension that pervades the work stems from what Bermel calls “the rub,” the use of the African pentatonic scale against the European diatonic scale. -- Mic Holwin.
