Di Vivere (Score): Mixed Ensemble Book

Description

Di Vivere, although self-contained, continues a music of contrasting sonorities found in MESTIERE for piano (1979) (published by Merion Music/Theodore Presser) and completes the title of Cesare Pavese’s collectedjournals,IL MESTIERE DI VIVERE, The Business of Living.In a single movement it explores both the inward and outward directed music of the clarinet an·d piano,heightened and further exteriorized by thecoloration of a trio of flute, violin and ‘cello.Whereas MESTIERE is what one is and does, what is integral to one’s life and work, Di Vivere suggests the fluctuating intensities of being alive. This work is structured in such a way that it could be performed as simply a duet for clarinet and piano. Written for the Da Capo ChamberPlayers, Di Vivere is dedicated with deepestfriendship and respect to David Olan, composer and clarinettist. The writing of this work was supported in part by a National Endowment for the Arts Composer/Librettist FellowshipGrant, 1980-1981, and a Fellowship from The MacDowell Colony, 1981.
