Music review: Third Angle opens season with John Luther Adams' vast, austere ...
How does sound evoke a sense of place? If the titles didn't tip you off, would you know that Ottorino Respighi's Roman triptych was about Rome, or that the honks and beeps of George Gershwin's "An American in Paris" were meant to evoke specifically Parisian traffic? Would commentators consistently identify northern imagery in Jean Sibelius' music if they didn't know he was Finnish?
The idea is central to John Luther Adams' "Earth and the Great Weather," with which Third Angle opened its season Friday night at Lewis & Clark College's Agnes Flanagan Chapel. In an epic piece of what he calls "sonic geography," Adams -- the Mississippi-born Alaskan composer, not to be confused with John Adams, the Massachusetts-born Californian composer -- aimed to create a landscape in sound drawn from the real landscape of northeastern Alaska, the location of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
Like the place, the music was vast and austere.
