NO-ISS-PA For ensemble (Performed by Beta Collide 2010)

 

No-Iss-Pa by Edgar Barroso, performed by Beta Collide / Oregon Bach Festival by edgarbarroso_2

This piece is tribute to the endless quality of St. Matthew’s Passion introduction. the concatenation of melodies and pedal are somewhat overwhelming and continuously beautiful. The piece wants to explore the meta-space that Bach creates, where pretty much any sound can inhabit in his “rivers” of sound. It’s complexity allows to create different musical connections of any kind; silence, interruption, electronics, dissonance, etc. This piece is an homage to the composer, it reminds us that inside his music all musics can exist.
