One Voice Quartet - Hidden Song

from What has happened to all that Beauty? by Ornette D Clennon

/

about

Written in 1991, premiered at the Royal Botanical Gardens, Edinburgh by members of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra

This is a protest piece. The quartet was prompted by a community project, run by the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, focusing on the global decimation of the rainforests. As part of the preparation for the project, we listened to a recording of the natural sounds of a rainforest. I found it quite difficult to “tune” into the recording at first until my ears grew accustomed to the complexity of sound. The quartet evokes this sporadic and fleeting texture that I heard on the recording. As on the recording there is an emergence of a strange type of order in amongst all of that sound, the quartet mirrors the natural sounds using large cycles of material underpinning the song in the middle section. The word “Hidden” in the title refers to the mysterious hidden beauties of nature, which must be preserved at all costs.
