Beginnings

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Ewan Stefani's Beginnings. The inspiration for this piece is the concept of denial and avoiding conclusions; rather than confronting, the focus here is upon description and observation. The voice guides the audience through a series of false beginnings that lead to another introduction, rather than a meaningful programmatic development. This piece was designed to represent discrete narrative or musical "voices" using speakers in the performance space. The pitched material is based on the first few passages of Purcell's "Dido and Aeneas".
