The Four Seasons of Lake Superior (fl, a fl, picc & gt)

Mon, 06 Sep 2010 07:18:18 -0400

By Carmen Maret and Andrew Bergeron For flute, alto flute, piccolo and guitar Lake Superior Fall Lake Superior Winter Lake Superior Spring Lake Superior Summer Duration: 11 minutes 30 seconds; Score and parts. Andrew and I decided to write the Seasons of Lake Superior in August 2005 after our third summer performing and exploring along the south shore of Lake Superior. We wanted to write a work together that would not only reflect the natural areas in and around Lake Superior, but would be a fundraiser for the Nature Conservancy Great Lakes to raise awareness about water. Lake Superior Spring recreates the feeling of ice and snow that slowly melts into a green landscape. Both instruments gradually accelerate with faster rhythmic subdivisions to the end of the piece. Lake Superior Summer represents the liveliness of people and animals who celebrate the few weeks in the summer when the forests surrounding Lake Superior are warm. Summer is in an odd-numbered meter, 7/4, with an interlude that uses a reggae sounding accompaniment also in 7/4. I got the idea to use a reggae backbeat accompaniment over a 7/4 meter after listening to the Les Claypool’s tune Duchess. Although it makes no difference to the listener, keeping track of seven as it switches between downbeats and offbeats has potential to throw the players off (which keeps us on our toes). Lake Superior Fall pays homage to harvest. Andrew used syncopated rhythms and an accompaniment pattern from Argentine tango dance to give the music its “stomp”. Lake Superior Winter reflects the stillness of snow and ice. I was scolded by a local arts organizer in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula for my rendition of winter. It is after all the shortest track on the CD, and in a place in the world where winter is about nine months a year, the organizer told me our "winter" just shouldn't be that short! But, perhaps this movement is like a winter’s day in the north, sparse and really all too short.
