Brown, E :: The Baths of Caracalla
Quetzal Music presents "The Baths of Caracalla" for four alto flutes and recorded sound by composer Elizabeth Brown.
The composer writes about this piece: In The Baths of Caracalla, four alto flutists serenely emerge and recede from a recorded soundscape which includes theremin and bowed psaltery as well as a choir of prerecorded alto flutes. Together, these form imaginary reverberations from the actual Baths of Caracalla of ancient Rome, now a vast, mysterious ruin.
In its heyday, the Baths of Caracalla was a wonderful place for friends to meet, with its combination of physical indulgences and artistic and intellectual stimulations. It probably felt like present-day Seattle. In addition to hot and cold baths, a swimming pool, and a gymnasium, it had a public library, art galleries, gardens, shops and restaurants. It was famous for its beautiful fountains and statues and its mosaic-covered walls and floors. The four players come together in the Baths of Caracalla, where the alto flutes echo in great, reverberant acoustics.
