Heart Blowing is Georges Aperghis\u2019 experimental exploration of a seemingly familiar ensemble: a classical brass quintet (two trumpets, horn, trombone, tuba), which he \u2018probes\u2019 for its potential to be something different. In keeping with the spirit of his workshop motto, he asks: How does the voice of this instrument sound in this very piece? Starting from an initially consonant, almost banal core of sound, \u2018magnetic fields\u2019 emerge that set harmony and polyphonic lines in motion. Thus, five individual voices grow into a single musical entity: colourful textures of sound that seem to undulate as if breathing from a shared breath. In this constant alternation between virtuoso unison passages and \u2018speech samples\u2019, intimate moments suddenly emerge \u2013 monologues, solos, duets, complicities \u2013 which take shape like musical characters and vanish just as unexpectedly.<\/p>\n
