Abstract
Please join us on Symposium Day for a live performance by 2021 Trustee Professor Kristen Case & 2020 Trustee Professor Steve Pane!
4/21/21: Quarry Animal Zero Fold: The Chaconne Project
12:00pm-1:00pm
Emery Community Arts Center Performance Space
The final movement of The Partita in D minor for solo violin by J.S. Bach, the Chaconne has been interpreted by every age and transcribed for virtually every instrument. In this collaborative project, Kristen Case and Steve Pane attempt translation of the Chaconne to the piano and the page.
Kristen Case will read excerpts from a writing project developed over the course of the last few months: a suite of 64 poems generated by a set of structural constraints derived from Bach’s composition of the Chaconne. Like Bach’s 64 4-measure variations, which revolve around the same four notes, the poems in this suite each revolve around the same four words. Accompanying the poems and in conversation with them is a second-person essay dealing with concepts of personhood, memory, and violence. Images from an artist-book in process will accompany the reading/performance.
Steve Pane will perform his transcription of Bach’s Chaconne, a hybrid of the solo violin original and the piano transcriptions by Ferruccio Busioni.
For those who can't make it to the live event, this performance will be recorded and posted to the Symposium web page.
