PROGRAM NOTE
The title of Louis Andriessen and Elmer Schönberger's 2006 book on Stravinsky, The Apollonian Clockwork, is an allusion to the composer's Neo-Classical period and is a particularly apt turn of phrase.
His Octet for Winds, from the early years of this phase, is indeed a starkly contrasting swing of his artistic pendulum away from the Dionysian Primitivism of his earlier works. Gone were the violent and
impassioned utterrances of the Rite and Firebird, in favor of a more restrained style and reinterpretation of Classical form. This period was also a time when Stravinsky moved away from the dramatic stage in favor
of absolute music, particularly focusing on chamber music. The Octet is certainly exemplary of these shiftings of the composer's artistic landscape, cast as it is in Classical forms and couched in a vocabulary that, while still adventurous and fresh, owes much of its syntax to the tonal realm. While my octet here
certainly borrows a pattern of pitches or motive here and there from Stravinsky's, it is more of an artistic response to the idea of the work. An attempt, as it were, to create an Apollonian clockwork of my own, in
my musical language. The allusions to Stravinsky's Octet are therefore often intentionally obscured, existing more as a personal homage on my part than an attempt at referential quotation, although there are
a few gems that are set prominently into the texture, deployed in a roughly reveresed chronology from their appearance in the original work. I hope that, while certainly not making a conscious attempt to write
in the Neo-Classical idiom, I have nevertheless succeeded to some degree in striving for an Apollonian ideal in this work. And I like to think the master wouldn't mind my reflections of his motives; after all, in
Stravinsky's own words, "A good composer does not imitate, he steals."
Approx. 7 minutes
