Le dimanche 26 avril 2015 à 14h
Église Sacré-Coeur-de-Jésus,
2000, Alexandre-de-Sève, Montréal
Admission: $15, free for
members
Les Amis de l’orgue de Montréal sent out a call for graphic scores for an improvisation concert for choir and organ. Participants are a choir assembled for the occasion, directed by André Pappathomas,with Alexandra Fol, composer and organist. As they write on their event page, organists frequently improvise but choruses almost never do, and they wanted to change that.
I created a graphic score titled Réactions en Masse, visually depicting the choir and organ alternating unspecified, to-be-discovered sound clusters. Although I had the chorus and organ in mind, Reactions en Masse could be done with any ensemble that produces sustained sounds.
