Glick - Beth's Cornucopia world premiere

Beth's Cornucopia (2009)
Andrew Glick

-------------------

When I finished my undergraduate degree last year, my high school piano teacher, Andrew Glick, wrote Beth's Cornucopia as a graduation present. At its most basic, the theme is composed of four notes, E, F, G, and B — (0 1 3 7) in pitch set notation. The themes are constructed using transposition, inversion, reordering, and so on. While this is a serial composition technique, Glick focuses more on the structure of the piece than on equality of pitch. He utilizes a wide array of extended techniques—flutter tonguing (like rolling an "r" in Spanish), multiphonics (singing while playing), valve clicking, "speaking" through the instrument, etc.—to create variation and outline the structure.

Recorded live at New England Conservatory's Pierce Hall, Sunday, 7 Nov. 2010.
