John Henry's thought for the day 12/15/2011
 
Picture
John Henry implores you to have a listen to under served and neglected Canadian composer Claude Vivier's Wo bist du Licht! "I really wasn't expecting the turns it took in the 2nd half...and the juxtaposition of the orchestra, soloist and tape are haunting and beautiful - nearly brought me to tears! Also that Gamelan gong starting around 1:20 is so striking, as is all the orchestration," said John. In fact, the harmonic auras surrounding that sound are a result of a trip through Bali, and were a common theme in Vivier's work following that trip. "A pity he died so young! How tragic."
