{"product_id":"afw-48020834","title":"Sphären (Study Score)","description":"With his orchestral cycle Sphären (“Spheres”), composer York Höller created a work that draws together the artistic and personal experiences of the past decades as if into a focal point. Spheres consists of six sound images of various character of which the first five were written between 2001 and 2005; after the death of his wife, Ursula Höller-Heidemann, in January 2006, Höller added the sixth, concluding movement and dedicated the work with love and gratitude to her memory. With the associative naming of both the cycle and the individual movements, the composer brings into play an evocativeness at the title level that in various ways mirrors some of the stimuli and impulses of the work's genesis, yet transfers this web to a super-personal level, where it functions detached from Höller's person as the foundation for communication with the audience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A beautifully sounding 40-minute kaleidoscope...We heard (and saw) in the phrases and shapes of the \u003ci\u003eWind Game\u003c\/i\u003e the dust or the leaves creating a stir, and enjoyed in the pizzicato study of \u003ci\u003eRain Canon\u003c\/i\u003e how the water dropped, splashed or hit the metal. In \u003ci\u003eFirework\u003c\/i\u003e, a catapult of embers raged, while in \u003ci\u003eEarth Layers\u003c\/i\u003e you could have sworn that blocks were forming, shifting and piling up on top of each other. And beyond all these individual sensations, the magic \u003ci\u003eSpheres\u003c\/i\u003e were spreading radiance, enigma and debauchery.” (\u003ci\u003eGerhard Bauer, Kölner Stadtanzeiger, April 9, 2008\u003c\/i\u003e)","brand":"Boosey \u0026 Hawkes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50547523977295,"sku":"AFW-48020834","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/1271\/8671\/files\/AFW-48020834.jpg?v=1790678307","url":"https:\/\/amadeussheetmusic.com\/products\/afw-48020834","provider":"Amadeus Sheet Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
