DANCE OF THE 7 VEILS (for percussion trio) by Basil Athanasiadis (excerpt)

For 2 vibraphones, congas and suspended cymbals.

This work has as its theme the number 7, focusing on the
ways that veils of different texture and colour, move and interact with light.

Aesthetically, the work is part of a series of works by the composer, featuring elements of Japanese aesthetics such as irregularity, quietness, unpredictability, non-development and absence of logical coherence.

Dance of the Seven Veils which was commissioned by the Canterbury Sounds New Festival was premiered in Canterbury in May 2010 and broadcasted by BBC3.

Performed at Sogakudo Hall at Tokyo University of Music and the Arts, 23 January 2011 as part of the performance project with the title "British Renaissance Music and British Contemporary Music with Japanese Cultural Influences" supported by JSPS and hosted by Tokyo University of Music and the Arts

Vibraphones: Fujimoto Takafumi, Missa Makino
Conga/Suspended Cymbals: Mizuho Hayashi

《 7つのヴェールの踊り》はタイトルの「 7」が示すように，
多種多彩なテクスチュアと音色，光に呼応した動きでそれ
ぞれ異なったヴェールを音楽的に表現している。
　《 7つのヴェールの踊り》は Canterbury Sounds New Festival の委託作品で，2010 年 5 月にカンタベリーで初
演がなされ，BBC3 で放映 ( 放送 ) された。
