Ensemble Montaigne - ARCHETYPEN

Archetypes are archetypes, primordial forms of existence. One source of Josef Kost's composing is his profound knowledge of techniques and styles from the past 500 years of music history: his lifelong engagement with them means a constant confrontation with archetypes. Archetypes of New Music are both Morton Feldman and Karlheinz Stockhausen as composer personalities as well as the two works to be heard in our program. Intersection #1 is one of Feldman's early graphic scores: the grid pattern of the music resembles a painting by Piet Mondrian. Karlheinz Stockhausen's wind quintet Adieu, a tribute to a musician colleague who died in an accident, creates the form with durations determined from the Fibonacci series: the number as archetype.
