Chameleon Arts Ensemble closes its 2014-2015 chamber music season with a program that takes “musical prose” as its starting point. Leos Janacek’s theory of speech-melody, in which the rhythm and pitch of the Czech language become part of his musical lines, is on display in his 1914 Violin Sonata. Bernard Rands draws us into the distilled, highly-charged world of Samuel Beckett with Prelude…sans voix, parmi les voix for flute, viola and harp. Stravinsky spins a dream-like tale of exile and alienation in his Suite from Histoire du Soldat for clarinet, violin and piano. Clint Needham creates a series of miniatures that evoke famous adages with Axioms for flute, clarinet, string trio, piano, and percussion. Finally, Brahms, with his supreme command of variation and metric flow, takes musical poetry to new heights with his C Major Piano Trio, Op. 87.
