Eliane Frances George
Armistice (1990)

Instrumentation: for three vibraphones and six musicians

Following the experience of 'Darkness' which had been composed before the fall of the Berlin wall and the change in our relationship with the Soviet Union, I wanted to express another vision of the possibilities which our era has to offer - the hope of peace, as opposed to the nightmare vision which I sought to depict in 'Darkness'.

"Klänge streifen, Rhythmen streifen, Melodien streifen, Streifen schichten, Streifen verweben,
Streifen verdichten. Streifend durch Klanglandschaften ziehen, streifend Klangfarben berühren,streifend Streifen streifen......."
Two string instruments stand face on with two percussion instruments whereby the "percussion's" primary objective is to attempt tonal alignment with the strings. The vibraphone plays a coupling role between the two parties. Polar oscillating movements, stratifying and sometimes recolouring, flowing sound bands and flitting pulsations alternate throughout the piece.

Licht bei Vermeer (1997-1998)

Instrumentation: for eight-part choir (SSAATTBB), basset horn and vibraphone

Texts: Vincent van Gogh, Pieter Teding van Berckhout, Dirk Hannema, Catharina Bolnes, Alltagssprache

Very little is known about the life of Jan Vermeer (1632-1675). There exists nothing but a scattering of contemporary articles and absolutely no personal testimonials with regard to the artist, who rarely left his hometown of Delft. Despite this, and a relatively small oeuvre of approximately 35 paintings known to exist, Jan Vermeer exposed new dimensions in the field of light, perspective and colour, and is regarded as one of the most outstanding painters of his era. Using compositional methods, 'Licht bei Vermeer' attempts to transpose the characteristic light and colour concepts of seven Vermeer paintings onto a musical level. While the basset horn and vibraphone generally represent the only painting depicting a view of Vermeer's hometown (View of Delft, ca. 1660/61), the choir tackles six genre scenes situated within this city: Woman with a Lute [ca. 1659-60], Lady and Gentleman Drinking Wine [undated] The Girl with the Wine Glass [ca. 1659-60], A Lady Standing at a Virginal [ca. 1672-1673], Woman with a Pearl Necklace [ca. 1664] and Woman Holding a Balance [ca. 1664]. Each of these genre scenes is assigned a text fragment, like tesserae in the mosaic of Vermeer-reception, where the musical reference to the picturesque work of Vermeer is coupled with exemplary statements about his life and impact.

A (tenir) tension (2002-2003)
Trio

Instrumentation: for flute, marimbaphone, vibraphone and persussion instruments

The completely dissimilar sound generation of flute and percussion, for example with regard to the acquisition and decay times, formed an important compositional aspect while working on this new ouvre.
This dissimilitude, by analogy, is also transferred to the temporal configuration insofar as the rhythmical form of extremely tight motorical passages ("moltoritmico") ranges over diverse intermediate stages to flexible handling parts ("tempo fluido") producing, thereby, tightly packed episodes with highly differentiated timbral play alongside processes where virtuosity in the traditional sense is central. It is so that the trio produces in quick succession various states, which are highly demanding for the interpreters, with regards interaction and playing technique.

Die chemischen Elemente (2008)

Instrumentation: for flute, saxophone and vibraphone

The structure and course of this piece is based on the periodic table of chemical elements. The three instruments represent specific groups of elements within the seven periods of the periodic system (metals, transition metals, non-metals, noble gasses). Small variations in playing technique and "plasticity" represent the chemical properties of each single element in one-bar 5/4 "portraits", which are linked to form a suspended tonal stream.

Ins Freie (2017)

Instrumentation: Improvisationskonzept für Bassklarinette, Marimba oder Vibraphon & Schlagzeug ad libitum, Klavier, Violine, Viola und Violoncello

In den 68er-Jahren wurde in der Neuen Musik oft mit einem politischen Hintergrund improvisiert, quasi als antiautoritäre Praxis. Die Konzepte wollten nicht vorschreiben, was zu spielen sei, sondern zur Kreativität anregen. "Ins Freie" knüpft an meine langjährige Beschäftigung mit Improvisation an, ist aber nicht - wie viele Konzepte - für den Eigengebrauch im "inner circle" geschrieben, sondern versucht, allgemein gängige Wege "ins Freie" zu entwerfen.
