Graham Waterhouse

With Perplexities after Escher, Graham Waterhouse has created an unusual chamber music work for heckelphone, string quartet and double bass. Inspired by early graphics by M. C. Escher's early graphic works, the five-part composition combines clear forms with surprising changes in tonal perspective. The heckelphone stands as an equal partner in the ensemble and unfolds its entire color palette - from edgy-energetic to lyrical-piangendo.
Ideal for demanding concert programs with special instrumentation. Instrumentation : heckelphone, string quartet and double bass.
