Nightdreams
Adrienne Albert
About this work:
The first movement of a three movement work titled "Between the dark and daylight" commissioned by Ursual Krummel and Pacific Serenades in 2007. Nightdreams begins with the descending minor third interval played by the viola (I love inner voices) and builds as each instrument enters to a dramatic high pitch. It then begins to move through a kaleidoscope of cultures. A pentatonic scale has the feeling of Chinese voices; tango rhythms appear to take the listener to South American countries; snippets of other cultures including our own Appalachian mountain region take shape and meld into the next.
