Catch (an Angel)
Recorders SAAT
Duur: 60 sec.
For Brisk Recorder Quartet at its 20th anniversary.
First performance in Paris, September 23 2006, at the Institut Neérlandais.
Brisk celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2006.
Six Dutch composers wrote a one-minute present. This is mine. It is a caccia of sorts, a polyphonic excercise in wayward flying by four little putti who very fleetingly touch upon the well known question: how many angels will be able to sit on the tip of a tongue? 
It seemed appropriate for a jubilant 4-tet to flutter during 44 bars in a tempo of quarternote 176.
The little piece is featured on the cd Vintage Brisk - Contemporary music for recorder quartet, released by Globe Records.
