GERTRUDE STEIN INHERITS THE TANGO 

Denne koncert er fyldt med nye oplevelser; stemmer, guitarkvartet og visuals. Hør to danske førsteopførelser af nye værker fra Storbritannien og Argentina.  

Programmet indledes med et nyt værk af den britiske komponist Gabriel Jackson. Hans værk bruger et digt af den skotske digter Ian Hamilton Finlay, der med sin store passion for arkitektur, landskab og poesi, skabte en park i Skotland med sten, som han fik indgraveret sine digte på. I dette værk sætter Jackson 1960’ernes konkrete poesi i lyd med inspiration fra det 15. århundredes musiktradition og med tråde til nutidens musik. 

Med referencer til både argentinsk tango og spaghettiwesterns, bruger komponisten Pablo Ortiz en tekst af Sergio Chejfec om den Argentinske nationale litteraturs episke helt, gauchoen Martin Fierro. Værket er komponeret for fire guitarer og tre kvindestemmer, og derfor ledsages Theatre of Voices af både Scandinavian Guitar Duo og Copenhagen Guitar Duo.

ENGLISH
GERTRUDE STEIN INHERITS THE TANGO 

This concert is filled with new experiences featuring voices and a guitar quartet. Listen to two Danish premieres of new works from the United Kingdom and Argentina.

The programme opens with Gabriel Jackson's piece ‘The Dancers Inherit The Party’ with a text by Scottish writer Ian Hamilton Finlay. Finlay had a great passion for architecture, landscape, and poetry, and created a park in Scotland with stones inscribed with his poems. In this piece, Jackson contrasts 1960s concrete poetry with sounds inspired by the 15th-century musical tradition and threads to contemporary music.

Drawing references from both Argentine tango and spaghetti westerns, composer Pablo Ortiz sets a text by Sergio Chejfec about the epic hero of Argentine national literature, the gaucho Martin Fierro. The piece is composed for four guitars and three female voices, and therefore, Theatre of Voices is accompanied by both the Scandinavian Guitar Duo and the Copenhagen Guitar Duo.
