chain maille
for percussion quartet
Composer
Monica Pearce
Monica Pearce
Composition Date: 2015
Duration: 00:08:12
Genre: Percussion, Solo / Ensemble, No Keyboard
Programme Note:
Chain maille (otherwise known as mail) is a type of armour consisting of small metal rings linked together in a pattern to form a protective mesh. With an exclusively metal timbral palette, this percussion quartet explores the concept of chain maille from several entry points – using the mesh pattern as fodder for musical material, examining associations of its medieval history, and most directly, using a chain maille hood as a percussion instrument. chain maille also investigates the idea of armour – the heavy armour we carry to protect against harm, both physical and emotional. chain maille is the first in a set of a multiple-work piece based on the history and associations of various textiles/patterns. In each of these works, the textile or pattern is used both as inspiration (history, tone, physical characteristics) and as a physically present element, either visually or sonically.
Premiere Information:
29 October 2015, Sam Houston University, Huntsville, USA
