Colourful chamber sounds.

From Pierrot sextet to Double Sextet, and from Triple Duo to Quintet. In their search for unheard timbres and instrumental harmonies composers like to juggle with strange strengths. In chamber music one can experiment to one’s heart’s content with strange compositions. From the six-strong Pierrot Ensemble to the peculiar instrument pairs from different centuries. In particular the American composers don’t like to follow the rules of classical chamber music strengths. In this Theme broadcast, some colourful examples of Elliott Carter, Robert Erickson, Steve Reich and Max Giteck Duykers a.o.
