SET 1: WERKHALLE

Hilary Jeffery presents a sequence of pieces taken from Philip Corner's recent collection of compositions:

"The Art of No-Art" (2022), Los Angeles: Recital Program



Philip Corner recently sold his old Swiss alphorn to Hilary Jeffery and subsequently sent this book for him to explore and play from, suggesting that some pages should work on 3 or 4 octaves of the instrument, with glissandos interpreted as sweeps through the harmonic series. Although the compositions in this book are originally conceived for piano exploring multiples of one key on several octaves, many lend themselves to other instrumentations. Hilary has selected a sequence of these pieces, combined together for a complete programme of solo alphorn with trombone interjections. Hilary originally recorded a series of trombone pieces by Corner together with his teacher James Fulkerson which was released on the CD "Extreme Positions" (2007), New World Records.
The first ever performance by a new ensemble dedicated to performing the music of Philip Corner - Ensemble Treffen Um Die Ecke (ETUDE). Corner's music present creative challenges to musicians in a playful and immediate way. His compositions dive deep into the material of music and its transcendental qualities. To play his music is to take music very seriously, in a lighthearted and fun way. This new ensemble will also play pieces from "The Art of No-Art" and more. This is their first musical meeting, and a pilot for future long term projects.
