{"product_id":"colour-concerto","title":"Colour Concerto","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour Concerto\u003c\/strong\u003e is a single-movement concerto that harnesses\u003cbr\u003emechanomorphism—using machines as artistic metaphors to convey non-\u003cbr\u003emechanical expressions—as a way to construct a work that intersects the colour and\u003cbr\u003emusic theories of Newton and Goethe. This mechanising of musical timbre allows\u003cbr\u003ethe work to explore both the technical and timbral possibilities of a solo clarinet and\u003cbr\u003eits orchestral counterpart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA consonant theme—first heard in high, hazy double-bass harmonics—is central to\u003cbr\u003ethe work’s form, variations of which allow the solo and accompaniment roles usually\u003cbr\u003epresent in the archetypal concerto to be stretched, subverted and ultimately\u003cbr\u003esubsumed. Whilst each player within the orchestra is challenged with both solo- and\u003cbr\u003etutti-style material, the soloist is similarly turned into a ‘chameleonic’ figure, with the\u003cbr\u003esolo instrument often heard mimicking its orchestral neighbours. From barrelling\u003cbr\u003estring-like arpeggios to brass chorales condensed into multiphonic chords, the solo\u003cbr\u003eclarinet features flourishing woodwind figures and vigorous percussive rhythms\u003cbr\u003ealongside its typically lyrical sonority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour Concerto\u003c\/strong\u003e is dedicated to its premiering soloist, Maria du Toit. Her\u003cbr\u003epioneering technical and artistic skill have been invaluable in shaping the spirit and\u003cbr\u003erigour of this work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Conrad Asman","offers":[{"title":"Performance Set \u0026 License (Digital)","offer_id":58125380747589,"sku":"BDP24CA02-PSD","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Full Score (Digital)","offer_id":58125380780357,"sku":"BDP24CA02-FSD","price":29.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Full Score (Physical)","offer_id":58125380813125,"sku":"BDP24CA02-FSP","price":48.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Performance Set \u0026 License (Physical)","offer_id":58125380845893,"sku":"BDP24CA02-PSP","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0981\/9291\/6805\/files\/CCto-ThumbB.png?v=1780225985","url":"https:\/\/conradasman.com\/products\/colour-concerto","provider":"Conrad Asman, Composer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
