Makris, A

Andreas Makris: Sextet for Woodwind Quintet and Piano with optional percussion.

The two outer movements of this work are Greek dances with odd-meter rhythms and vigorous tempi, suggesting perhaps a vibrant life force. The first movement also contains a short aleatoric section in which several of the wind players 'tune up', a possible poke at contemporary compositional techniques- or perhaps at the members of the ensembles themselves.

In contrast, the second movement, 'Modern Chapel', begins with a long piano solo, surely simulating the sound of a country church pianist, replete with unsophisticated harmonies. The winds enter, and after a solo for flute, they repeat the four-part harmony presented by the piano. The composer could not resist adding an optional snare and bass drum part to the last movement: the work ends in a state of heightened exuberance as the drums pound out an exhilarating 7/6 pulse throughout.
