Semantic Diffusion - Israel Neuman
Recent Performances
Further Information
Semantic Diffusion is a composition influenced by musical traditions from the Middle East and Eastern Europe. In particular it incorporates melodic elements that are common in those musical cultures, along with the use of a drone and heterophony. Such Middle Eastern melodic elements, including the Hijaz tetrachord, (the set 0145), are revealed throughout the piece by the use of specific melodic direction. Yet, in the absence of this melodic direction, the same exact pitch sets are part of an atonal context. This duality in meaning is also the inspiration for the title of the piece.
