McGowan, N :: Ios Duo
McGowan, N
The form of the Ios Duo, for flute and clarinet in Bb, is in two parts: slow and fast. The first part incorporates the non-western performance practices of shakes and glissandos, particularly influenced by how they are used in South India. Differing from vibrato, shakes are reoccurring throughout and are exactly notated. In the case of the flute, the instrument is simply shaken with the right hand. On clarinet the shake is produced by a combination of breath pulses and embouchure movements.
The second section begins with a canon that leads to a rhythmic development. Throughout there are many interval games such as rising chromatic lines between the two voices, parallel motions in different intervals and glissandos to and from unisons.
