Antoine Beuger – Cantor Quartets (2003)

Antoine Beuger, “Cantor Quartets” (2003) Performed by Lee Elderton (clarinet), Mike Gamble (guitar), Andre St. James (double bass), and Evan Spacht (trombone) A traditionally notated 15-page score, with each page containing four lines of seven notes each, “Cantor Quartets” is performed as a round, with each performer entering sequentially as the preceding performer finishes a line – meaning each page begins as a solo, then becomes a duo, trio, and finally quartet. The ensemble is free to play as many pages as they choose, in any order, because each page, line, note, and harmony is designed to exist as a distinct musical event all in itself. In a 2009 interview with composer James Saunders, Beuger discussed his intent: “The four phases are really separate stages. There is no building up, no reaching the next stage. The next stage is not reached, it is entered by stepping into it. It is a new beginning, each time. . . . [O]ne thing ends, something else begins” (http://www.james-saunders.com/intervi.... For this performance, the ensemble focused on three pages of the score. Recorded live at the Extradition Series, Portland, Oregon, USA, October 21, 2017. The Extradition Series presents quarterly concerts of 20th- and 21st-century experimental music, exploring purity, space, sound, and silence. www.facebook.com/TheExtraditionSeries www.creativemusicguild.org/extradition-series Recorded by Tim Westcott Mixed by Branic Howard / openfieldrecording.com Photo by Matt Hannafin
