Hummel, Trio Op.95c "In Memoriam Olivier Messiaen” [Pet:ZM31290]

Trio Op.95c "In Memoriam Olivier Messiaen”.
Hummel, Bertold.

Flute(s) & Other Instruments.
For: Fl.Ob-Pf.

This trio for flute, oboe and piano is a personal homage to Olivier Messiaen whose death became known shortly before this work was composed. Melismas reminiscences of a bird song dominate--in various variations--the 1st movement the structure of which is determined by a cadence contributed by each soloist. The 2nd movement is characterized by sustained tones and concise motifs. Being 'economical' with the material, this movement forms a strong contrast to the outer movements. The basic note material of the 3rd movement comprises the letters from OLIVIER MESSIAEN's name that can be used musically: E-E-Eb-Eb-A-E. In the middle section, a sequence of chords repeated over and again forms the basis for a melodic line from Messiaen's opera 'Saint François d'Assise'--thus creating a kind of little passacaglia.
