Agilus, Mimoid, Symmetriad (2012) lindsay vickery
Violin I Violin II Viola Cello
Agilus, Mimoid, Symmetriad takes its name from three of the "oceanic forma:ons" of the sen:ent planet Solaris, as described by Stanislav Lem in his 1961 novel of the same name. The work employs a scrolling score allowing for coordina:on of complex and con:nuously evolving structures. The original string quartet version of the work, premiered earlier this year, is here augmented by piano and electronic processing of the acous:c instruments.
The score scrolls from left to right. The notation is proportional and principally graphical.
Each of the four instruments is colour coded.
For string quartet
Other graphical indications:
natural harmonic (c# on the 1st string)
Artificial harmonic with changing
bow pressure and left hand pressure allowing the pitch to fall
back to the open string.
Noisy sul pont with very light bow varying within the dynamic pp to mf.
Pizzicato shifting in pitch within a
semitone.
col legno ricochet
col legno played as a group with relative pitch relationships
