China Gates
''China Gates'' is a short piano piece composed by the minimalist American composer John Adams in 1977. (Adams soon gave this work a companion, his ''Phrygian Gates'', finished the next year. The latter is the longer of the two and uses similar techniques, but in terms of structure the pair have little in common.) ''China Gates'' is one of Adams' first mature works, which he wrote for the then 17-year-old pianist Sarah Cahill during a rainy season in northern California. Adams himself has suggested that the constant eighth notes of the piece reflect the steady rainfall of the time. The bass notes of the piece form the root of the mode, while the upper voices oscillate between different modes. K. Robert Schwarz has noted how the style of ''China Gates'' is in keeping with the ideas of "process music" of Steve Reich. The piece has a duration of about 4:50 minutes and is written in three parts. In the first part, the modes alternate between A-flat mixolydian and G-sharp aeolian, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
