Distances Between 2 (2019) by Ron Warren
Composer and native flutist Ron Warren wrote Distances Between 2 for me in the spring of 2019 after hearing me chant a Greek Orthodox hymn at one of my performances earlier that year. Ron and I have collaborated on many musical projects, most importantly in Philip Glass’s monumental Piano Concerto No.2 “After Lewis and Clark” where the second movement based on Sacagawea features beautiful dialogue between native flute and piano. A recent performance featuring myself and Ron is available on my YouTube channel. According to the composer, Distances Between 2 is based on that infinite distance between pitches characteristic of many ancient musical traditions. Following the opening bell sound, the melodic material fits idiomatically within the range and modality of the native flute. The pieces unfolds as a beautiful juxtaposition of two different types of beauty. The first, much slower and more meditative, has a direct relationship to the austere and objective beauty of nature. The tempo is constant, slow, meditative without any human sense of flexibility or rubato. The contrasting sections feature an expressive human response to this objective beauty with flexible tempos and a colorful array of tonalities. Each return of nature is presented with increasing rhythmic complexity, while each human response becomes more expressive and colorful. The final response features beautiful color shifts descending by chromatic thirds and returns to mirror the tonality of the opening bell toll. I gave the world premiere of Distances Between 2 at the Omaha Conservatory of Music in October of 2019. |
