Louis Andriessen - Workers Union - Festival Camino Contro Corrente
Louis Andriessen Workers Union (1975) for any loud-sounding group of instruments Atti Vandalici 2013 - Camino al Tagliamento (UD) 2 novembre 2013 Collettivo Rituale, Direttore Andrea Nicoli Esecutori: Tiziana Bertoncini, Carlo Zorzini, Felicita Brusoni, Gianluca Geremia, Gisbert Watty, Gianantonio Rossi, Filippo Bresolin, Alessandro Baglioni, Paolo Fornasier, Francesco Del Nero, Giovanni Santini, Riccardo Vaglini, Francesco Zorzini. It is a melodically indeterminate piece; this means there is no key and no defined melody. The piece is very strict rhythmically, with only a guide to lower or raise pitches. Sections may be repeated as many times as the conductor wishes, resulting in varying performance lengths. Every instrument plays different notes that follow the same rhythm and ascending or descending patterns. This creates an atonal piece with many polyphonic phrases. There are points in the piece where the ensemble splits into two groups. The groups alternate lines before coming back together again. If executed properly, the piece sounds mechanical as the instrumentation operates in perfect unison.
