Description:
Inspired by Jeff Donaldson's dizzyingly complex painting JamPact JelliTite (for Jamila), George Lewis's Flux for 16 players was written during the composer's residency at Oberlin Conservatory, where the work was composed in 2014 and premiered that year by the Contemporary Music Ensemble. Dedicated to the memory of Wendell Logan, the composer who founded Oberlin's jazz program in the late 20th century, the score is also inscribed with gratitude to the students and faculty of Oberlin, in particular Timothy Weiss, conductor of the Oberlin CME.
The wild, 12-minute score leaps unexpectedly between musical ideas and calls for a wide range of extended performance techniques: quarter tones, multiphonics and percussive effects in the winds, glissandi on the piano strings, exotic bowing techiques, and more. The score includes full performance notes and is available for purchase as part of the Peters Contemporary Library.
