Symphonic Movement: On Works of H. P. Lovecraft is inspired by the horror
fiction writer H. P. Lovecraft. Lovecraft was famous for his ability to create a sense
of creeping dread and terror in his stories. The composition evokes this dark
atmosphere and uses a combination of melodic, harmonic, and orchestrational
devices to imitate this ambience.
The primary musical material of the work is a melody consisting of all twelve
tones. The composition explores this melody through motivic development and
phrase segmentation derived from the source material. This heavy use of
chromaticism helps to create a dissonant and brooding atmosphere throughout. The
work fluctuates between soft, lyrical passages and loud, cacophonous sections. The
alternation of exposed melodic lines with large bombastic climaxes is a major
component of the overall structure of the composition.
The Cripples (Movement I) explores layered rhythms and disjunct melodic fragments which play on the idea of Bruegel’s painting of crippled men trampling over each other and stumbling. Small moments of balance are found throughout only to be lost. Patience (Movement II) is based on an early engraving of Bruegel, which depicts a lone woman who represents a virtue, in this case patience, surrounded by sin and vices. Juxtaposed textures are presented with patience eventually finding itself victorious to temptation. Children’s Games (Movement III) explores a painting which depicts a large number of children playing a plethora of different games. The movement uses graphic notation and plays with the idea of games to create a compositional “game” for the ensemble. Big Fish Eat Little Fish (Movement IV) depicts a large fish eating several smaller fish. A process is introduced which plays on the idea of increasing density and lasts for the bulk of the movement.
