Program Note:
Trilogy was commissioned in 2000 by percussionist Colin Currie for a series of solo recitals planned for Dec2000 and Jan/Feb2001 at venues in Glasgow, Tokyo, New York and Chicago.
Currie initially wanted a short piece that brought the styles and sounds of modern electronic dance music into the world of contemporary classical percussion through the use of a pre-recorded backing CD. A huge library of percussion samples was then created from Currieʼs own large selection of instruments. But it became clear rather quickly that the super imposition of these sounds, together with a live percussion part, could produce an interesting texture that would inspire a slightly more ambitious work than that which had originally been requested.
The result: a three movement work which covers a great deal of stylistic ground (referring to the music of five continents) and explores many different approaches to structure (ranging from the freely improvised to the mathematically binding). The live percussion part is scored for Marimba, Vibraphone, Crotales and a large array of untuned percussion.
