| Description |
In researching and composing RICERCAR, Gilkes and Ives became fascinated by the mathematical genius of Bach, and the story behind the composition of one of Bach’s most complex pieces of music: a six voiced fugue entitled Ricercar A6. Fredrick the Great gave JS Bach an impossible single musical theme, 21 notes in length and the challenge laid down to the composer was immense: improvise this theme into a musical fugue, live and without preparation. |
