about
Champs I (1965, 69)
This work for piano and percussion was completed in 1965 and later revised by the composer in 1969. Composer Bruce Mather commented: “Already evident are some of the regular features of Tremblay’s writing: the carefully controlled and uniform mobiles, both in the networks of pitches and in the rhythmic neumes, the ‘reflexes’, in which the players react to one another by means of sound cues, and the ‘resonance-durations’, in which rhythm is a function of the resonance of the instruments. The work is splendidly successful in its integration of the role of the piano with that of the percussion, and also in the natural blending of instruments of definite pitch with those possessing more complex or imprecise pitches.”
