To Immortal Bloom was composed during June/July 2017 and is scored for soprano, vibraphone, cello and piano. The lyrics are drawn from poem XXI of Conrad Aiken's Preludes for Memno n (1931), with the text edited by the composer. The obvious musical and numerical references, as well as a feeling of reverie in the concluding imagery, were the inspiration for the musical setting. The melodic and harmonic material is strictly derived from a matrix of four nine-tone scales that has been the basis for all of my music for the past twenty years.-Bob BeckerNumber of players: 4Difficulty: AdvancedInstrumentationPlayer 1: Soprano voicePlayer 2: VibraphonePlayer 3: CelloPlayer 4: Piano Show more
