Small Ensemble Cello, Clarinet, Flute, Piano, Violin - Level 4 - Digital Download
SKU: A0.1655451
Composed by Felicity Constance Mazur-Park. This edition: pdf, streaming. 21st Century, Classical, Contemporary, Renaissance. 41 pages. Felicity Mazur-Park #1221877. Published by Felicity Mazur-Park (A0.1655451).
The Death Instinct for Pierrot quintet is based on Carlo Gesualdo's most dissonant madrigal, Moro Lasso. The text of the madrigal is about the pain and suffering that accompanies death. The opening five measures, which are filled with dissonant, thought-provoking harmonies set the scene. In my composition, I make a point of continually featuring these opening chords in addition to borrowing fragments of counterpoint from the original madrigal. The other material in my piece is original. I create a jarring contemporary sound world by using minimalism, spectralism, and Ives' inspired practices. One of the most prominent features of the composition is the virtuosic clarinet solo that occurs around the golden mean of the piece. Freud interpreted the text and music of the madrigal as relating to what he termed the Death Instinct. According to Freud, all humans are prone to a natural desire to create conditions for their self-destruction. My composition maps out this subconscious desire for self-destruction. Tensions build in the first two-thirds up until the clarinet cadenza. The last third of the piece is an accelerated version of the first two-thirds as the subject's self-destruction becomes an unstoppable force that is only resolved by its completion.
