Description
Ripple Effects for Carillon, a commission from Rockefeller Chapel, is dedicated to Elizabeth J.L.Davenport, Dean of Rockefeller Chapel, Chicago compassionate spirit, innovator, visionary, arts devotee, and dear friend – in celebration of her ten years as Dean. Across Ripple Effects’ 5-minute duration, it unfolds a labyrinth of musical interrelationships and connections that showcase the musicianship of Joey Brink, Tiffany Ng, Ellen Dickinson, Frans Haagen and many other carillon players in a display of rhythmic agility, counterpoint, skill, energy, dynamic range, clarity, teamwork, and majesty. Throughout the kaleidoscopic journey, the work passes through many “ripple layers”. The first layer is scored for 2 players (4 hands and 2 feet;) then two more players are added; then two more players are added, and so forth. This additive process continues until the final culminating sound of the composition - a chord where every one of the 72 bells in the carillon are rung together, as played by many people. As far as we know, this is only time that every bell has been simultaneously rung and, for this world premiere, performed by many people who love Elizabeth.
