SKU: A0.1356476
Composed by Amos Elkana. 21st Century,Chamber,Contemporary. 17 pages. Amos Elkana #941147. Published by Amos Elkana (A0.1356476)."Blast", for woodwind quintet, is a reflection of my continuous exploration of both musical innovation and current realities. This piece follows my previous compositions, including "Que sais-je?", "Echoes of Eíkosi", "Roots" and "Mostly Cloudy", each embodying my commitment to creating music that resonates with contemporary experiences while being rooted in a rich musical tradition.
The title "Blast" emerged from a confluence of meanings and personal reflections. It alludes to the fundamental act of blowing into wind instruments, forming the essence of this quintet. This direct, physical engagement with the instruments creates a visceral connection between the musicians and their art, mirroring the intimate connection I strive to maintain with my creative process.
However, the title also carries a deeper, more poignant significance. Living in Tel Aviv, I am constantly reminded of the harsh realities of conflict, where the sounds of blasts are a grim reminder of the ongoing strife in our region. As someone who deeply opposes war and champions human rights and peace, "Blast" is my artistic response to these troubling times. It is an expression of my longing for a world where the creative and life-affirming act of making music can overpower the destructive sounds of conflict.
