History


In 2019, Waterhouse was inspired by concentric phenomena in nature and culture, and allusions to "cities", to write Concentricities in five movements for a clarinet-cello-piano trio. The work was published by Schott Music the same year.[1]

The composition is structured in five movements; the duration is given as 13 minutes.[1]

  1. Birds of Prey
  2. Cityscapes
  3. Pagoda
  4. Oscillations
  5. Ring of Stone

Performances


Concentricities was first performed at the Gasteig in Munich on 10 November 2019 by Hans-Joachim Büsching, the composer as the cellist and pianist Nino Gurevich.[1][2] It was published by Schott Music.[1] A reviewer from Süddeutsche Zeitung of a later performance described the imagery of each movement, with concentric movements the common idea: in Birds of Prey a whirring start and then soaring circles; in Cityscapes, a clumsy building "animated with restlessness"; in Pagoda, a slightly grotesque approach; in Oscillation, a picturesque way to illustrate when a stone falls into the water; and finally in Stone Circle, making prehistoric monumental stones become audible.[3]

A performance in the Gilching town hall combines the work with music by Gustav Mahler, Mark-Anthony Turnage, and the world premiere of the composer's string quartet Alchymic Quartet.[4] A day later, the piece is featured in a concert on the occasion of the composer's 60th birthday at the Allerheiligen-Hofkirche in Munich, with clarinetist Hans-Joachim Mohrmann and pianist Anna Karapetyan.[5]
