HitchCockTail, for Flute, Guitar, Harpsichord and Accordeon 26.11.2019

©1992 by Peter Swinnen Performed by Berten D'Gollander, Yves Storms, Christine Wauters and Philippe Thuriot Dit werk, geschreven, in opdracht van First Meeting (BRTN-Radio 3), voor Philippe Thuriot, is tevens bedoeld als een ode aan de grootmeester van de psychologische thriller, Alfred Hitchcock. De opbouw gebeurt namelijk volgens een voor hem erg typische structuur : na een korte inleiding volgt...

Antré, Entrada per Corno, Tromba e Trombone 26.11.2019

©1996 by Peter Swinnen Performed by students of the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel, cond. B. Bouckaert Dit aforistische werkje, een hommage voor de 65e verjaardag van mijn vroegere compositie-leraar AndrŽ Laporte, ligt helemaal in de lijn van de klassieke openings- en huldigingsfanfares. En zoals de titel reeds laat vermoeden, met de nodige knipogen

Gogutos, for String Quartet 26.11.2019

©1998 by Peter Swinnen Performed by Quatuor Danel Cette pièce, le titre étant dérivé de “Cocytos”, une des rivières aux enfers dans l’ancienne mythologie Grècque, raconte à travers 7 tableaux une promenade fictive lelong de cette fleuve “des Plaintes Éternelles”. Là-dedans on entend parfois une ombre qui apparaît pour raconter son histoire, et puis qui redisparaît. En plus, le mot Gogutos décrit l...

Dorce 3, for Cello Solo 26.10.2019

©1999 by Peter Swinnen Dorce is a series of 9 pieces, all using the same three parts, whereas the third part also exists in a transcription for a second Violin. In fact, you can play Dorce as a Solo piece, which gives you four different solo pieces (Dorce I for Violin Solo, Dorce II for Viola Solo, Dorce III for Violoncello Solo, Dorce IV for Violin Solo). You can also play Dorce as a Duett, which...

Canzone, for Violin and Piano 26.10.2019

©1996 by Peter Swinnen Aan de basis van deze compositie lag het idee van een combinatie van de begrippen "Zwanezang" en "Sirenenzang": verleidelijk, opstandig, berustend in het lot. Deze drie elementen bepalen dan ook de structuur van "Canzone". Na een lyrisch begin komt een eerder heftige passage, die echter onmiddellijk omslaat in sarcasme en weer bedaart , waarna het begin-thema langzaam maar z...

Raoul Lay “Souvenir d’un dragon de soie”, French for “Memories of a silk dragon”, is a personal reflection on several travels I was able to make into China and Vietnam, and the rich musical and philosophical cultures of many East Asian people I was able to meet during the festivals I visited. On the one hand there is t...

Sinfonia V - Metamorphosen, Sinfonia concertante for Symphonic Wind Band 19.10.2019

©2019 by Peter Swinnen Métamorphoses, ma 5e Symphonie, est le résultat d’une recherche qui me fascine depuis plusieurs années : comment amener de la cohérence dans du matériau musical d’une hétérogénéité prononcée ? Point de départ de cette pièce est l’utilisation de quelques techniques provenant de l’intelligence artificielle : des "algorithmes génétiques" changent ("mutent") des cellules musical...

Point d'Appui, for Viola, Narrator and Electronics 19.10.2019

©1999 by Peter Swinnen Performed by Dominica Eyckmans, Jean Portante, Peter Swinnen Dans cette pièce, j’ai voulu entourer les textes de Jean Portante d’une musique qui ne soit ni descriptive, ni simplement un tapis d’ambience. Au contraire, j’ai voulu y ajouter un deuxième personnage, pour créer ainsi un vrai duo, de la vraie musique de chambre, entre la parole et la musique. Pour que, comme le di...
