Oscar Bianchi: Plenty for two. Eine idiosynkratische Allianz

for trombone, double bass and ensemble

(2021/2022)

Plenitude, gorgeous plentifulness, generosity.
Throughout the more exhaustive corpus of the ensemble, two instruments radiate a spectacular identitarian latitude. The magnanimity of formants, color, and spectrum, speak plenty about such musical and existential »largesse.« Historically they came a long way, yes, to be able to deploy such an arsenal of poetry and entrancement. But here, they are neither soloists nor »concertanti«; they are nautic propellers, in force and symbols. They are both screed and content of their abodes. The endless resources of those two enable larger discourses about introspection, speculation, jubilation, and transcendence. The joy of nurturing them, within their idiosyncratic alliance, comes from a simple realization that idioms are not cages, just departures and that what is possible still lays ahead.
