knotting and loosening

Christopher Cerrone

knotting and loosening for orchestra

(2007) full score

Instrumentation 2 Flutes (1st also Piccolo) 2 Oboes (2nd also English Horn) 2 Clarinets in B-flat 2 Bassoons (2nd also Contrabassoon) 4 Horns in F 2 Trumpets in C 2 Trombones (1st Tenor, 2nd Bass) 1 Tuba 3 Percussion (Player 1: Bass Drum Player 2: Bass Drum, Tam-tam Player 3: Vibraphone, Sandblocks, Crotales, Contrabass Tom-tom)

Piano Harp Strings Duration: 7 minutes

Performa nce not es: Figures contained in boxes should be repeated independently until cut off by the conductor. The exception to this the end, when each performer is given a specific number of repetitions. In that case, the player should repeat their figure independently and should be allowed cut off independently as well.

Composers note: The title "knotting and loosening" is drawn from a line in Italo Calvino's novel If on a winters night a traveler . The full sentence, which reads: "…in a slow dance, it is not the rhythm that counts, but the knotting and loosening of serpentine lines…" characterizes much of the activity in my piece: No single activity dominates, but rather the interplay of large fields of knotting (characterized by frantic swells and rising figures in the brass, wind, strings, and percussion) and loosening (elongated decays of sounds and the shift from sounds to the noise of breaths in the winds and brass and toneless bowing in the strings) that forms the basis of my work. I should also note that the ending of knotting and loosening was inspired a passage in Conrad Aiken’s short story “Silent Snow, Secret Snow”: "The hiss was now becoming a roar—the whole world was a vast moving screen of snow— but even now it said peace, it said remoteness, it said cold, it said sleep."
