Program Notes

Entre Cloches or “Among Bells”, is the second of two movements from the piece, Sites Auriculaires. It was originally written for two pianos–the only piece Ravel wrote for this configuration. It contains many successions of fourths and accented repeated notes, suggesting the chiming of bells, both large and small. Moreover, the piece exploits the interval of the fourth to a striking degree, both melodically and harmonically. It begins with rapid motion in fourths, followed by a much slower lyrical section. It then returns to its opening material in a denser, more clamorous fashion before subsiding to a quiet end. With its bold, driving sonorities and its modally inflected lyricism, it is an achievement of considerable merit.
