Description
Tjampuan (1992) - ́Where the Rivers meet ́ - 6 Movements for Violin and Cello by Per Nørgård . Programme Note: Any nature phenomenon with a character of its own - a bat cave, a very old banja tree etc, is by the balinese regarded as holy (for which reason very often a temple is placed close to it !) Thus also the place where two rivers meet (called ́tjampuan ́in Indonesian, this also the name of a valley ́where the rivers meet ́near Ubud, Bali). The connection to a duo for violin and cello is hardly difficult to understand: Two individualities integrate their soloistic expressions to one, the rivers meet. The 5th movement, however, is a thorough contrast movement (more ́brook like ́!), as is also the 6th movement which, with its whirling figurations, rather associate to kataracts or fountains. Per Nørgård (1992)
