History
In 2019, Waterhouse was inspired by concentric phenomena in nature and culture, and allusions to "cities", to write Concentricities in five movements for a clarinet–cello–piano trio.[1][2]: 11 The work was published by Schott Music.[1]
The composition is structured in five movements, with a total duration given as 13 minutes:[1]
- "Birds of Prey"
- "Cityscapes"
- "Pagoda"
- "Oscillations"
- "Ring of Stone"
Performances
Concentricities was first performed at the Gasteig in Munich on 10 November 2019 by Hans-Joachim Büsching, the solo clarinettist of the Beethoven Orchester Bonn,[3] with Waterhouse as the cellist and Nino Gurevich as the pianist.[1][4] The score was published by Schott Music.[1]
A Süddeutsche Zeitung reviewer of a subsequent performance described the imagery of each movement as illustrating concentric, oscillating, circular, or spiralling movements or structures creating the common theme: in "Birds of Prey", a whirring start and then soaring circles; in "Cityscapes", the circular growth in the development of a city; in "Pagoda", a slightly grotesque approach; in "Oscillation", a picturesque way to illustrate when a stone falls into the water; and finally, in "Stone Circle", making prehistoric monumental stones audible.[5]
A performance in the town hall of Gilching combined Concentricities with music by Gustav Mahler, Mark-Anthony Turnage, and the world premiere of Waterhouse's string quartet Alchymic Quartet.[6] A day later, the piece was featured in a concert on the occasion of his 60th birthday at the Allerheiligen-Hofkirche in Munich, with Hans-Joachim Mohrmann,[a][7] and pianist Anna Karapetyan.[2]: 4 [8]
