Yksitoista kerrosta
by Markus Fagerudd
Eleven Storeys
Description
Teoksessa Yksitoista kerrosta sopraanolle ja kamariorkesterille vuodelta 1992 Fagerudd yhdistää eklektisesti modernistisen perinteen piirteitä. Pentti Saarikosken runoon sävelletyn teoksen musiikillinen kieli on ikäänkuin samassa ”sävellajissa” monipolvisen runon kanssa; sekään ei suostu asettautumaan kovin yleistajuiseen uomaan.
Fagerudd saa kamarikokoonpanosta taitavasti esiin värinvaihdoksia hyvin pienillä eleillä, samoin dynaamiset tehot kasvavat ja supistuvat nopeasti ilman suurieleisiä prosesseja. Orastavassa koloristisuudessaan Yksitoista kerrosta astuu kynnykselle, jonka ylitse Fagerudd siirtyy kamariyhtyesävellyksessä Fresco.
Yksitoista kerrosta hyödyntää suomen kielelle luonteenomaista tavujen lyhyyttä, se on paikoin jopa määräämässä lähes kauttaaltaan syllabisen soolomelodian liikettä. Vain muutaman melisma värittää koko 12-minuuttisen sävellyksen soolo-osuutta.
