Simon Emmerson - Microvariations (in memoriam Jonathan Harvey) [2013 -14]

about

Microvariations (in memoriam Jonathan Harvey) was commissioned by Sond'Ar-te for performance during the 3rd Sond'Ar-te International Forum for Young Composers, Lisbon 2nd-7th March 2014. The work consists of 35 short sections of music covering all the possibilities of the combinations of the instruments, each varying short fragments and gestures. The variations move through ‘local’ harmonies and tone colours – which are revealed in the end to be part of one large spectral sound space. The live electronics sample and freeze sounds, spatialise
and immerse the audience. Jonathan Harvey was always an inspiration – I knew him for nearly 40 years as musician and friend. Especially in the field of electronic music he showed that the relationship of humanity and
technology could be positive and enriching.
