B​.​Kutavi​č​ius - Clocks of the Past II (2000) for ensemble

from HORIZONS by LENsemble Vilnius, Vykintas Baltakas

/

about

The pioneer of minimalism in Lithuanian music is Bronius Kutavičius. In his early music he applied various avant-garde techniques and modern principles such as serialism, sonorism, aleatoric and collage, only later in his life he developed the more intimate individual musical language for which he is most known. Kutavičius played an important role at a time when Baltic music was absorbed by it’s search for national identity. In the 1970’s his creations provoked something of a cultural shock in the Lithuanian musical scene. His compositions "Pantheistic oratorio" (1970), "dzukian variations" (1974), “The small spectacle" (1975), “Last Pagan rites" and "Two birds in the shadows of the Woods" (both written in 1978), the Second string quartet "Anno cum tettigonia" (Year with the Grasshopper , 1980) were events that marked a change in Lithuanian music.
In 1977 Kutavičius composed his first version of Clocks of the Past for string quartet and guitar. Clocks of the Past ii for instrumental ensemble was created in 2000. The latter stand out in a form and development that runs through the metaphorical image of a Japanese Garden.
