Musica ambigua
by Jukka Tiensuu
for recorder of flute, and/or violin, and/or viola da gamba, and/or harpsichord
Description
Musica ambigua, ”Epämääräistä musiikkia”, on Tiensuun laajin kokonaisuus historiallisille soittimille. Otsikko kertoo, että säveltäjä on pyrkinyt hämärtämään rajaa ns. historiallisen soitannan ja nykymusiikin välillä: tämä ei ole modernisoitua barokkia, ei uusvanhaa musiikkia, mutta ei myöskään nykymusiikkia, joka olisi tietämätöntä tai piittaamatonta soittimiensa menneisyydestä.
