Bianca Bongers – to the ..light.. and the HEAVY!! (world premiere)

The second passage, gives sound to an abstract inside emotion, like a sort of request to the outside. It starts small, from just a group of instruments. But also when on its strongest, the ‘cluster’-like sound is still built up from little, carefully shaped microtonal melodies in the high woodwinds and strings. Within the space they leave open, intuitive and unpolished glissandi from the lower instruments are coming out. Creating a propelling movement, to really lean into. Both passages show attempts on making sound to expand, and form a ‘sound object’ within that. The last passage starts from one of those objects. Being an arch shape, without a clear point of landing. Bongers made it like a drawing, with a short length of time but a big height, where many aspects come together in one moment.
