!!!Trio for Strings (1958) ---- The Trio for Strings (1958) is based entirely on different spacings and transpositions of selected pitches (usually three at any one time) from the 'dream chord'.{br} What is more noticeable is that the 48-minute Trio is played entirely without vibrato, mostly pretty quietly and with very slow bowing. The sculptural qualities of the sound are reinforced in performance by the statuesque appearance of the players. The timbres are devoid of colour and the notes are played not 'as individual "parts" but as contributions to a chordal unit whose components are of different durations' (Michael Nyman, Experimental Music (London: Studio Vista, 1974), p. 121.). These chordal units are separated by silences lasting up to 40 seconds.{br}{small}— Dave Smith, "Following a Straight Line: La Monte Young", Originally published in Contact no. 18 (Winter 1977-78), pp. 4-9. — http://www.users.waitrose.com/~chobbs/smithyoung.html {/small} Le Trio for Strings, qui est un jalon important dans l'histoire de la musique occidentale, est entièrement constitué de longues durées. C'est la composition sérielle la plus étrangement unique que je connaisse. Le son de la pièce, qui combine la patience de la Chine ancienne avec l'austérité du Zen japonais, est dominé par des suspensions d'intervalles qui nous entraînent sur des plans statiques que nos idéaux occidentaux, matérialistes et limités par la pesanteur, ne nous permettent généralement pas d'atteindre.{br}{small}— Terry Riley, cité in Edward Strickland, "Minimalism: Origins", Bloomington & Indianapolis, Indiana University Press, 1993, p.69. {/small} [../files/articles/lamonteyoung/1958_openingstringtrio.jpg] {br}{br} {html} <TABLE BORDER=0" WIDTH="100%" style="background-color:#CCCCCC;"> <TR> <TD> <small>LA MONTE YOUNG<br>TRIO FOR STRINGS</small><br> <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="webs/dewplayer-vol.swf" width="350" height="20" id="dewplayer" name="dewplayer"> <param name="wmode" value="transparent" /> <param name="movie" value="webs/dewplayer-vol.swf" /> <param name="flashvars" value="mp3=https://jeromejoy.org/files/articles/lamonteyoung/1958_Trio_for_Strings.mp3&bgcolor=FFFFFF&showtime=1&autoplay=0&autoreplay=0&volume=100" /> </object> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> {/html} {br}{br} \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t [../files/articles/lamonteyoung/1958_TrioForStrings_Ruth_Lee_Martin.jpg]\|t \|t \|t \|t {small}{cap}Ruth Lee Martin,, 'La Monte Young'.
