"Triangle Music"
By David Jefferson
"Triangle Music", a Minimalistic piece for solo piano, proves that a single changed note can dramatically effect texture in repeated structures. It also shows how one certain changed note can shift emphasis of accentuation in a process. A solid pulse is constantly maintained by a common tone. Polytonality creates no sense of an actual tonic, or the tonic seems to shift constantly (e.g. It could be in CM, am, FM, dm, etc.). In the structure 2 sets of 3 different tones in a 3 note process denotes the 3 sides of a shifting triangle in gradual motion. "Tonic" is blurred through dissonant polytonality, yet makes unique transitions once the polytonality gradually fades. Dissonance (such as M7's) is masked through constant motion, pulse, accentuation, and a common tone. The process gradually unfolds before your eyes unaided, and "could be" seemingly endless (though it only repeats once). A sense of "phasing" is accomplished through only the use of note substitution during the process in motion. Repetition is made tolerable through the "slowed" sense of gradual motion, and dissolution of metric tempo. Subtle changes keep the ear/mind interested, while the unfolding process allows the mind to gradually slip away. The performer decides how long the piece lasts for, within the stated bounds.
