In an Old House in Paris
This is an antiphonal piece that follows the rhythms found in the text of Madeline, a children’s book written in 1939 by Ludwig Bemelmans. The words that correspond to the musical phrases can be found in the book, which can be found in many libraries and bookstores.
During this time of social distancing, musicians have been looking for ways to play together by way of video communication. Truly synchronous two-way communication is not yet possible, so this piece explores the horizontal musical communication that is operative in antiphonal music.
I have found that the piece works better on a direct communication platform like FaceTime than it does on a conference-based platform like Zoom.
I have made modular settings so that this piece can be played by two violins, two clarinets, violin and clarinet, two violas, viola and guitar, oboe and guitar, flute and guitar, violin and guitar, violin and viola, viola and cello, oboe and viola, flute and viola, bassoon and cello, bassoon and viola, two cellos, and two bassoons.
I wrote this piece so that musicians can have the pleasure of communicating with one another in real time, which is a necessity in times of social isolation. In the time that follows the Covid-19 pandemic (whenever that may be), this piece could be performed in a way that injects freedom in the sections marked “allow for random cacophony.”.
This piece is available on this page of the IMSLP.
November 22 UPDATE: Here is a video of a Zoom performance of the version for violin and viola played by musicians in Michigan and Texas.
Here's a performance by clarinetist Jade Garcia and violinist Emily Rumney
The Schoen Duo has made three videos: one with the music alone, one with the music and pages from the book, and one with the addition of the spoken text! This link will get you to all three.
2025 UPDATE! Now for String Quartet.
Arrangement: J.S. Bach Adagio from the F minor Violin Sonata, BWV 1018, for String Quartet, Clarinet Quartet, or Viola Quartet
[The version for viola quartet looks a lot like the version for clarinet quartet, but, like the string quartet version, it is in G minor rather than C minor--the original key.]
