Violist Wendy Richman, a founding member of the International Contemporary Ensemble, releases her debut full length recording of music she commissioned for voice and viola for one performer. Including premieres by Ken Ueno, Christian Carey, Arlene Sierra, Everette Minchew, José-Luis Hurtado, David Smooke, Jason Eckardt, Lou Bunk, and Stephen Gorbos, Richman significantly expands the repertoire for singing violist with this varied program.
Wendy Richman’s “vox/viola” chronicles her evolving project commissioning works for singing violist. From conventional textures of melody and accompaniment (Carey, Ueno), experimental scores exploring timbral variation in both instruments (Hurtado, Bunk), compositions oriented around creating intentional clashes and beatings in pitch (Minchew, Smooke), works incorporating electronics (Gorbos, Eckardt), to Arlene Sierra’s character piece, each work on “vox/viola” discovers innovative ways of taking advantage of the added parameter of Richman’s voice to create a unique sound world. The repertoire for singing instrumentalist is a growing one, and these nine pieces significantly expand the available works for viola in the genre.
“vox/viola” opens warmly with Christian Carey’s inviting He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven. Setting a Yeats text, the work opens with a broad, processional solo viola introduction. The voice enters over a flowing instrumental line and rises in register over the course of the song, closing with a luminescent perfect fifth double stop. Stephen Gorbos’ Veiled is the first work including electronics on the album, and uses the different elements at play to explore textural and sonic distances. The vocal line chants wordless contours, the viola inhabits a more rhapsodic role, and the electronics create a shimmering, metallic environment which envelops both.
