During this morning of the Morning of the Unexpected, Ensemble SCALA will perform exciting and remarkable 31-tone works composed in a variety of styles. The programme features the premiere of a piece by one of the pioneers of microtonal music in the Netherlands, Gijsbrecht Roijé. His nearly uncompromising pursuit of sonic purity has resulted in the composition Na for Ensemble SCALA. Also on the programme is the first performance on the authentic Fokker organ of a composition by Peter Adriaansz, Scala I. In this strict yet colourful work, the electric 31-tone guitar features in a particularly striking way.
The composition Speelmuziek II by Anton de Beer, the former resident organist of the 31-tone organ, will be performed in a small ensemble (flute, viola, Fokker organ) and is conceived in a more classical than modern style. From Martin Lo-A-Njoe, Pas de Deux will be heard, a work for the (96-tone) Carrillo piano and the (31-tone) Fokker organ, composed in a more or less minimalistic style. The concert will conclude with Zerscheinen by Steffen Krebber, in which a fragile, sometimes tender search for the right tone is central.
