N40 - Elisabeth Angot

Elisabeth Angot
N40

for Solo Guitar - 2024

Work dedicated to Sotiris Athanasiou

When I met Sotiris Athanasiou to talk about this project, he told me he wanted ‘something that comes from far away,’ not knowing that most of my compositions actually begin with this very indication written on the score.

I immediately heard the beginning of the piece, entirely in natural harmonics, as an echo of the music of the spheres from Ancient Greece, of the proportions of pure intervals, discovered and theorized by Pythagoras.

The desire to connect this musical heritage to the timbre and resonance of the guitar, nurtured by the collaboration with Sotiris, inspired me throughout the composition. »
