Xavier Dayer: Ceneri: Gitarre Trio / Quartett

The image of ashes blowed away by the wind was permanently in my mind while I was composing this work. Though the four guitars are drawing musical circular lines, the slightest direction change of one of the voices can have unpredictable consequences on the others. What make them all move, would like to be like a breath. Non sta, si svolge e gira Quanto nel ciel e sott’il ciel si mira. Ogni cosa discorre, or alto or basso. Benché sie ‘n lungo o ‘n breve, O sia grave o sia leve; … Ch’una medesma parte Or di su in giù or di giù in su si parte; Ed il medesmo garbuglio Medesme tutte sorti a tutti imparte. Giordano Bruno, De l’infinito, universo e mondi (1583)
