Program Notes

Trio Per Uno by Nebojša Jovan Živković consists of three movements. The outer movements have some similarities in manner and might appear to represent a wild, archaic cult ritual. The second movement has its own special lyrical and contemplative mood. The opening movement requires a bass drum (lying flat) played with timbale sticks by all three players; a pair of bongos and china-gongs are also used by each player. The slow second movement is based on a contemplative melody in crotales [small cymbals] accompanied by meditative patterns from the other two performers playing vibraphone. This middle movement is an isle of quiet between two ‘volcanoes,’ both in atmosphere and instrumentation. Speed and energy characterize the closing movement, which calls for two tom-toms and one snare drum for each performer. The large number of different rhythmic patterns, played mostly in unison but sometimes split among the performers, makes a ‘trialogue’ that expresses the principle: ‘three bodies — one soul.’”
