for Clarinet, Cello and Piano
(2006)
Duration: 10:30 minutes
Instrumentation: Clarinet, Cello and Piano
PROGRAM NOTES: The composer writes about his work: "While
composing Like a Whirling Sand Clock for clarinet, cello and piano I
was occupied with the notion of leaking time process which is a micro
cosmos of a larger process, best to be described as going back in
time.In September 2006, I feel that the world is standing on a pivot
point: on one hand, the various religious and political forces insist on
rooting themselves deeper and deeper into what they see as the only
truth, while in reality such ideas and especially the religious ones are
extremely fundamentalist, reactionary and ill-minded. For me, such
clashes of ideas and ideals are reminiscences of the dark middle-ages
days and the crusades, where people killed people because of blind
belief. Yet, in our days, with sophisticated mass destruction tools as
developed most efficiently by humanity, one asks himself towards where
we are heading and what will bring tomorrow. The feeling of evaporating,
leaking time gets stronger and stronger while our era's events remind
more and more what history books tells us.While imagining an
ever-whirling sand clock that drops its sand grains one by one while the
sand pile is collected at the upper tube and not the lower one, (thus
indicating a going back in time process), one can imagine visually what I
have tried to portrait with sounds.Like a Whirling Sand Clock was
generously commissioned in memory of Adele and John Gray for clarinetist
Chen Halevi."
