Music for Wilderness Lake is a remarkable work by Canadian composer R. Murray Schafer, written for twelve trombonists positioned at different locations in an outdoor setting. The natural surroundings are an essential part of the performance: the sounds blend with the ambient noises of the environment, creating a unique listening experience that is constantly evolving.
Through this composition, Schafer explores the relationship between music, space and nature. The trombones seem to engage in a dialogue from different directions, creating an impressive soundscape. Music for Wilderness Lake is considered one of Schafer’s most iconic works and reflects his profound interest in acoustic ecology and the experience of listening in the open air.
The first part can be heard early in the afternoon on the steps of the Tribunetrap at Amare. At the end of the festival, we return to the work for its second part at Korzo Theatre.
