Music by Helmut C. Calabrese
Mingle for Solo Xylophone
(Score)
Program Notes:
Mingle for Solo Xylophone (2011) Opus 96 is respectfully dedicated to Peter Jarvis. The music was inspired by the following Childe Harold, Canto iv, Verse 178 by the Lord George Gordon Byron:
“There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music in its roar: I love not man the less, but Nature more, From these our interviews, in which I steal From all I may be, or have been before, To mingle with the Universe, and feel What I can ne’er express, yet cannot all conceal.”
The xylophone’s timbre seemed appropriate to convey these images of nature. The music aspires to manifest the structural divisions and spirit of the verse. - Helmut Christoferus Calabrese
