Clarence Barlow - 25 Anéis (2010)

“25 Anéis”, translated from Portuguese to English as “25 Rings”, is a piece that contains 25 iterations of a sequence of notes, each sequence slightly faster than the previous. That being said, the work begins in a languid state and accelerates into a frantic bevy of notes. The twenty-fifth “ring” comes to a sudden halt, and the two notes that conclude the piece pass with the same sluggish demeanor as the first ring. Written for the Pierrot ensemble, each instrument plays three different notes in a sequence. With the exception of the notes performed by the piano part, all the notes in the sequence are tuned to a specific centitone outlined in the foreword.
Barlow, of British and Portuguese descent, was born in Calcutta, India. He studied variously in the Calcutta University in India, the Trinity College of Music in Britain, the Cologne University of Music in Germany, and the Utrecht University Institute of Sonology in the Netherlands. He later became the artistic director of the Institute of Sonology, taught composition at the Royal Conservatory of the Hague, and served as the head at the University of Santa Barbara’s composition department. Though Barlow is a pioneer in the field of electroacoustic music, he prefers the sound of traditional instruments.
