Much of the piece\u2019s energy derives from the manifold ways in which the two species interlace. The first movement\u2019s tricky offbeat rhythms are interrupted by lyrical, wandering clarinet melodies; in the second, suspended harmonics in the strings gradually darken into music of pulsating intensity that grows to a pair of almost violent climaxes. The finale is a set of variations on a theme derived from Gregorian chant, set against a translucent background of string trills and chiming piano chords. Again, more impetuous statements erupt before the piece arrives at its solid if quizzical end.<\/p>\n<p>A longtime subscriber told me that during the intermission he had polled \u201csome other octogenarians,\u201d all of whom had enjoyed Jalbert\u2019s piece. Indeed, it struck me as virtually perfect for this audience: grounded in the tonal language and structures of the past, yet willing to extend them into a contemporary rhetoric. The subscriber reported that his colleagues would welcome the chance to hear the piece again; BCMS should take them up on it.<\/p>\n<p>Read the full <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bostonglobe.com\/lifestyle\/style\/2015\/04\/20\/society-dips-into-modern-music-with-jalbert-premiere\/wnpSc1q5S21Z4fxLOdxrUI\/story.html\">article<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MUSIC REVIEW Society dips into modern music with Jalbert premiere By David Weininger\u00a0GLOBE CORRESPONDENT\u00a0\u00a0APRIL 20, 2015 CAMBRIDGE \u2014 The Boston Chamber Music Society &#8211; The club\u2019s second commission is American composer Pierre Jalbert\u2019s \u201cStreet Antiphons\u201d for violin, cello, clarinet, and piano; its premiere was at the center of Sunday\u2019s concert.
