Programme notes *: The composition "Skriet" (Norwegian for "scream") by Wim Henderickx is a remarkable work for top-level wind orchestra inspired by Edvard Munch's iconic painting "The Scream". This musical composition interprets the visual and emotional intensity of the painting and transfers it into the world of music. Henderickx succeeds in musically capturing and portraying the existential anguish and inner torment that Munch portrayed in his work. Edvard Munch's "The Scream" is one of the most famous paintings of expressionism, depicting a figure caught in a moment of extreme fear and despair. The painting is known for its undulating lines and intense coloring, which provide a visual representation of the screams of nature and the soul. Munch described the painting as an expression of his inner pain and the deep, existential anguish he felt. Wim Henderickx' musical interpretation Wim Henderickx, a Belgian composer, takes up this emotional intensity and brings it into his composition "Skriet". The work for top-level wind orchestra is not only a homage to Munch's paintings, but also an independent artistic exploration of themes such as fear, movement and inner tension. "Skriet" is a complex and multi-layered composition that uses various musical techniques and forms of expression to portray the dramatic mood and emotional depths of the scream. - The composition begins with an intense, dissonant sound carpet that immediately creates an atmosphere of unrest and tension. The initial motifs are fragmentary and unpredictable, reflecting the nervous energy and inner turmoil of the scream. Atonal and chromatic elements dominate this passage and create an oppressive mood. - The main part of the piece develops in a continuous movement that symbolizes running and escape. Here rhythms and tempos change frequently, and the orchestral texture is complex and layered. Different instrument groups interact in a constant interplay that represents both the physical effort and the mental exhaustion. - A central climax of the composition brings a cathartic explosion of sound that represents the emotional outburst of the scream. Henderickx uses a wide range of dynamics and articulations to emphasize the intensity and pain of this moment. The music reaches an almost chaotic state before gradually transitioning back into calmer but still tense passages. - The conclusion of the work lets the initial restlessness slowly fade away. The music gradually becomes calmer, but an underlying tension remains. This reflects the persistent presence of fear and uncertainty even after the acute moment of the scream has passed. "Skriet" by Wim Henderickx is a profound and challenging composition that captivates both performers and listeners. The combination of visual art and music creates a multi-layered experience that goes beyond the pure world of sound and penetrates the emotional and psychological dimension. The work has been performed by wind orchestras all over the world and has gained recognition for its innovative and expressive style. The composition "Skriet" by Wim Henderickx is an impressive example of the interdisciplinary connection between music and visual art. Inspired by Edvard Munch's "The Scream", Henderickx has created a work that translates the emotional depth and visual intensity of the painting into musical language. "Skriet" is a powerful and moving piece that impresses and touches listeners with its expressive power and complex structure. Quelle/Source: musicainfo.net (KI) Information: Norsk
