The first movement of my concerto for Bassoon and Cello. The work explores a skybound journey of two characters as they travel through the endless possibilities their world has to offer. Divided into three movements, they each explore a different feature that could be found “between clouds”--opening with a bridge constructed by the two characters, followed by a stroll through the night cast in moonlight, and finally ending with a dance in the emerging sunlight.

This movement is described as, "A connector between two worlds; its architects yearn for someplace new, and escape across the passage they have made together."

The musicians you hear in this recording are:
Lauren Henning - Bassoon
Hannah Mohr - Piano
and myself on cello

Between Clouds - I. Bridge

065 - Tom Armstrong (Feb 2022)

Performed and Recorded by James Nova, all trombones.

Terpsichore (terp-si-core-ay) comes to us from Greek Mythology. One of the nine classical Muses, her patronage was that of lyric poetry, dancing and playing the flute. In our contemporary lexicon, the derivative adjective terpsichorean means (n.) "a dancer" and (adj.) "pertaining to dancing."

In 1612, the German composer and music theorist Michael Praetorius (1571—1621) published a collection of over 300 dances in a collection he called Terpsichore, Musarum Aoniarum. Arranged by Praetorius for unspecified instrumental ensembles, the dances were derived from the stately French dance repertoire of the day, which includes forms such as bourrée, gavotte, la volta, galliard, etc.

This work draws from the Branles Simple (la, la, la, je ne l'ose dire), which is included in Praetorius' collection and attributed to French composer Pierre-Francisque Caroubel (1556—1615?). My treatment of the material takes inspiration from another modern work, the colossal and rarely heard ballet/opera, Tanz-Schul, completed in 1987 by Mauricio Kagel (1931—2008). Kagel similarly sourced material from a manual of dance music, Gregorio Lambranzi’s 1716 treatise New and Curious Theatrical School of Dancing, which featured bizarre illustrations, detailed descriptions and short, melodic examples. Kagel's preference to satirize the material made special use of the fabulous illustrations and countless notational errors found throughout the musical engravings in the treatise.

I prefer to think of my piece as an examination of Praetorius and Caroubel's work as seen through a kaleidoscope. The source material floats like an earworm melody that's been stuck in your head for as long as you can remember; mutated, interrupted, deconstructed and reassembled in the churning tides of thought and memory.
