Programme Note
Angelous Novus is a piece inspired by the Painting of Paul Klee (Angelous Novus). The painting shows a Talmudic angel looking as though he is about to move away from something, he is fixedly contemplating. The Angel in the picture is looking back in time and so is the piece. The musical gestures in this music are inspired by the jewish trop ritual and the harmonic progression is inspired by a Bach Cadenza from his Toccata and Fuge in D minor for organ, colored by vibrating microtonality.
