'Song Emerging,' a program the Aizuri Quartet will perform for a WQXR Artist Propulsion Lab engagement at The Greene Space on Nov. 18, crosses borders with selections by classical composers, folk singers, and Inuit iconoclast Tanya Tagaq.
Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2022.might not be immediately familiar to casual art lovers, but Hokusai’s “The Great Wave off Kanagawa” likely is. The 1831 woodblock print, in the collection of the, features three boats tossed in a huge wave with Mt. Fuji looming in the background. The vibrant blue ink Hosukai used in what's arguably his best-known work, imported to Japan from Europe, is instantly recognizable, and fundamental to the art form.
It’s also, as Ouzounian put it, illustrative of the group’s guiding ethos: curiosity. The idea for "The Aizuri Songbook," she said, came from the group's wish to adapt vocal pieces for the quartet. The song list includes classical lieder from Clara Schumann, Franz Schubert and Claude Debussy, as well as contemporary songs by Eleanor Alberga and Ben Russell. The Aizuris tapped their "friends and family," as they put it, to create the arrangements.
“It almost feels like you can go into a trance while you’re listening [to the piece] or playing it,” Frucht added. But while Tagaq’s singing will be evoked through instrumental means in “Song Emerging,” the Aizuris will also incorporate actual vocalizing into their performance. Cellist Ouzounian will sing and play in a piece she arranged based on the song “Freight Train” by Elizabeth Cotten.
“We don’t always get to explore these small and intense personal worlds of songs,” she said. “We tend to play sort of larger-scale forms. And these are such concentrated and expressive worlds. There’s something about that that’s so special.”
