Ricercare Una Melodia: For Trombone and Electronics

Ricercare una melodia is an ingenious work for solo trombone and tape delay from the mid 1980s by Jonathan Harvey, where takes the literal meaning of Ricercare - ‘to seek’ - as the inspiration for its structure. It unfolds as two fivepart canons: the first frenetic, twittering and rowdy; the second, where the canon is progressively augmented, more luminous and contemplative. A characterful and concise masterpiece from one of the visionaries of Electro- Acoustic Music.
