Duration: 14'<br/>For: flute, clarinet, violin, violoncello, marimba, vibraphone and piano<br/>Commissioned by the Serge Koussevitzky Music Foundation and California EAR Unit<br/>Première: January 11, 1995 - Los Angeles County Museum of Art - California EAR Unit<br/><br/>The idea behind Zilver was to write a chorale variation as Bach did for organ: a long melody in slow musical motion, combined with fast playing of the same melody. The melody is a pop song that no-one will recognize.<br/>The ensemble is divided into two groups: the wind and strings play the sustained melody in chorale-like four-part harmony, and the rest of the instruments – vibraphone, marimba and piano – play increasingly fast staccato chords. The two groups play in canons.<br/>Zilver is a part of a series of chamber music pieces named after a type of physical matter.: Hout (‘wood’) is the first, and Zilver (‘silver’) is the second. The title also refers to the two silver instruments – flute and vibraphone – which start and end the piece.<br/><br/>Louis Andriessen<br/>
