Below the City is a musical imagination of Dante’s Inferno, exploring the story from the voyage along the River Styx toward the Sixth Circle of Hell until the arrival at the top of the Eighth Circle. The journey relies on ostinatos which layer together to create a complex soundscape. Some sections are based upon a twelve-tone matrix and others extend from using different sound colors, including tone clusters and considerations for range. The journey ends as uncertain as it began.
Atéa Wind Quintet performs the premiere of Below the City in Dartington, UK.
