Programa 10: Keiko Abe: Prism Rhapsody, para marimba Adélaïde Ferrière, percusiones Nacida en 1937 en el seno de una familia japonesa de médicos y negociantes, fue gracias a que su abuelo fue uno de los primeros en comprar un piano en el Japón decimonónico del s. XIX; que pudo estudiar piano, composición y xilófono. Desde los 12 años quedó fascinada por la marimba y la eligió por ser el mejor instrumento para expresar su personalidad. Fue así como su vida como ejecutante se tradujo en la continua evolución del instrumento, creando junto a Yamaha versiones modernas de la marimba y creando fantásticas obras como lo es la “Prism Rhapsody, para marimba” de 1989. Una rapsodia es una obra formada a partir de fragmentos o melodías de otras obras populares; contando además con improvisación en tiempo real de la ejecutante. En el caso de esta obra, explotando de forma brillante las posibilidades coloristas con técnicas de ejecución diferentes sobre las láminas y el uso de distintas partes de las mazas. La solista internacional Adélaïde Ferrière será la encargada de dar vida a esta excepcional obra en su primera presentación en el país.

Kathy Clarke - Alto Saxophone Bella Scotti - Marimba Follow us on Facebook and Instagram: (http•••) (http•••) (http•••) Akira Yuyama (1932 – 2019) Divertiemto (1968) Divertimento for Marimba and Alto Saxophone was Composed at the request of the Marimba player Keiko Abe for a recital in 1968. ‘By both pioneering new technical skills and expanding the literature, Keiko Abe has transformed what was once considered a primitive “Folk” instrument into a full-fledged concert instrument welcome in any of the most prestigious concert halls.’ This piece was an early example of marimba music in Japan. Japan has now come to be one of the leading centres of composition for the Marimba. When Yuyama was tasked to composes a piece for the marimba he immediately decided to combine it with saxophone. The saxophone similarly to the Marimba has had some prejudice in the concert hall, even today. So, it only seems fitting Yuyama wished to combine the two ‘outsider’ instruments in this setting. The piece gives equal attention to both instruments, calling for six mallets at one point on the marimba and the use of the full range of the alto saxophone. Although the marimba and saxophone are from completely different instrumental families either can become a lead or accompaniment. Yuyama explores both the smooth improvisatory lines the saxophone can create and the more percussive aspect of its articulation. Frequently a repeated rhythm between the marimba and saxophone can be heard in the 7/8 moments. This part really showcases the timbre similarities between the instruments. Written in a Western style, Divertimento is a set of variations in a rondo form. The opening theme returns alternated between other themes, called episodes. Set up: Yanagisawa 901 Alto Saxophone. Selmer S90 180 Mouthpiece. Vandoren Optimum Ligature (Vertical Pressure Plate). Vandoren Anches Traditional Reed, 3.5.
