Keleusma (2009)

for flute and string orchestra

Duration: 9 min

Keleusma has a bucolic character and is inspired by the ancient greek music tradition. Bucolic pieces in Ancient Greece where devoted to Dionysos, the god of wine.

This concertino begins with a dialogue between flute and strings based on repeated motifs of 3^rd minor and 4^th augmented intervallic relations. These relations form the modal material of the piece basically routed by the ancient chromatic tetrachord. Strings gradually obtain a percussive character -by the use of contemporary techniques- which define the mood and unify the differentially orientated musical elements.
