Zénith
Une vocalise pour trompette et un quatuor de flûte, clarinette en sib, violon et violoncelle
Osmo Tapio Räihälä
Zénith
Description
"Zénith" is a moderated instrumental version of the work "Zen" for soprano and an instrument quartet. The trumpet doesn't simply replace soprano, but rather brings its own nature in "singing" a vocalise. As there are no lyrics in this version, the work also relies more on pure musical thinking, where the more eloquent first half is met with a more tranquil second movement. The movements are played without a pause between them. © 2011 OT Raihala
