Beschreibung:
Appels (1974) brings together eleven musicians: single wind instruments (excepting the tuba), piano, 2 drummers and a double bass. The horn, 'often used in music to express calling out afar prayer and call' is in the foreground. Besides, each wind instrument makes a snare drum vibrate in sympathy ('music on second thoughts or music of music'). A very metaphor of human breath the 'instrumental sound and vibration' couple is then mixed and redistributed in the hall. Since a 'call is an opening par excellence' and 'requires an open form', the composer revives this latter notion: disregarding temporal dynamics (time becomes static) he makes a wonderful display of space. Twenty years hence, the raucous incantations of Appels sound even more ecstatically grave.
