Programme Note

 

Kelados (ancient Greek word) means: a noise as of rushing waters, loud noise, screaming, agitation (Aeschylus), and musical sound (Euripides).

Also, loud clear voice, as of an oracle (Pindar).

The work describes all these contrasting emotional tones. It is written in one of the multiharmonic, multispectral modes that I have devised and use.

The specific modes are based upon new formations of sounds beyond the 8va, and consist of much smaller intervals of a semitone.
