Keening
Keening
Composed by Evangelia Rigaki
Yonit Kosovske, harpsichord
The word "keening" originates from “caoineadh”, the Gaelic word for weeping or wailing. Many cultures around the world have ancient keening rituals involving emotionally-charged, dramatic vocalisations that express mourning and grieving.
Keening, Evangelia Rigaki's composition for solo harpsichord, calls for a variety extended techniques: Ebow, pizzicato, string glissando, knocking on wood, humming, vocalising, wailing, slapping the chest, and lying over the strings inside the harpsichord. These techniques produce a variety of unique sounds and theatrical gestures, evoking powerful emotions, images, memories, and symbolic references.
Rigaki's composition was commissioned in 2024 by Janet Oates as part of her transnational project "Inventions: The Harpsichord Across Time and Borders", made possible with funding from Arts Council England, Creative Scotland, Sound Festival (Scotland), The Marchus Trust, The Hope Scott Trust, Mary Cooke, and The Francis Louth Trust, as well as Shanker and Mellicent Singham from the Competere Foundation.
As part of Oates' Inventions project, the first live performances of Keening were premiered throughout the autumn of 2024 by three harpsichordists in three different countries: Yonit Kosovske (Ireland), Tiffany Vong (Scotland), and England (Katarzyna Kowalik). Kosovske was so moved by Rigaki's composition that she felt inspired to create a performance of Keening for screen.

The three movements (spirals) have the fast-slow-fast structure of an 18th-century trio sonata and are inspired by the energy of particle physics, electronic music, and modern drum’n’bass beats & rhythmic patterns. The result is vibrant, contemporary, and me...

    Nice description of the Renaissance guitar and a lyrical, sensitive performance of Beati Quorum. Regarding the Ukulele, the baritone member of this family is tuned just like the Renaissance guitar: DGBE, corresponding to the four upper strings of the modern guitar. With this instrument you can play any of the Renaissance guitar literature with little scordatura needed. The publication "Guitar Music of the 16th Century" by Keith Calmes contains a whole library of pieces--almost 300 pages worth! It also has the piece, Beati Quorum, which you played so well. All the music is printed in standard music notation.

    The viola was invented first, violin wasn't invented until 1564. Viola is the Italian word for viol? Violino is the Italian for little viola. Nowadays viola players are ridiculed unfairly as they are very musical and skilled players.

      @MsAraAra 5 місяців тому

      Не совсем. Ирландская флейта происходит от до-Бёмовских английских флейт 19 века. Это конические флейты с довольно крупными игровыми отверстиями. Ренессансные флейты - цилиндрические, с маленькими игровыми отверстиями, с относительно толстыми стенками. Их звук более тихий и мягкий, чем у более поздних флейт.

      @@menoftheclothKTOG Oh, I'm sorry. Irish flute is descended from 19th century pre-Boehm English flutes. These are conical flutes with large playing holes. They had 2 to 8 keys, but irish folk musicians removed them. There were many varieties of such flutes, but now this variety is reduced to a few main types of Irish flutes (like _Pratten_ and _Rudall_and_Rose_) Renaissance flutes are cylindrical, with small playing holes and small embouchure, and relatively thick walls. Their sound is quieter and softer than that of 19th century flutes. However, we must remember that the timbre of the flute always depends very much on the individual technique of the flutist. You can play softly and gently on the Irish flute, although it is not in the tradition of Irish folk music. However, you are unlikely to get a powerful and resonant "Irish" sound on a Renaissance flute.
