| | The Rothko Chapel is a spiritual environment created by the | |
| | American painter Mark Rothko (1903-1970) as a place for | |
| | contemplation where men and women of all faiths, or of none, may | |
| | meditate in silence, in solitude or celebration together. For | |
| | this chapel, built in 1971 by the MΘnil Foundation in Houston, | |
| | Texas, Rothko painted fourteen large canvasses. | |
| | | |
| | While I was in Houston for the opening ceremonies of the Rothko | |
| | Chapel, my friends John and Dominique de MΘnil asked me to write | |
| | a composition as a tribute to Rothko to be performed in the | |
| | chapel the following year. | |
| | | |
| | To a large degree, my choice of instruments (in terms of forces | |
| | used, balance and timbre) was affected by the space of the chapel | |
| | as well as the paintings. Rothko's imagery goes right to the edge | |
| | of his canvas, and I wanted the same effect with the music - that | |
| | it should permeate the whole octagonal-shaped room and not be | |
| | heard from a certain distance. The result is very much what you | |
| | have in a recording - the sound is closer, more physically with | |
| | you than in a concert hall. | |
| | | |
| | The total rhythm of the paintings as Rothko arranged them created | |
| | an unbroken continuity. While it was possible with the paintings | |
| | to reiterate color and scale and still retain dramatic interest, | |
| | I felt that the music called for a series of highly contrasted | |
| | merging sections. I envisioned an immobile procession not unlike | |
| | the friezes on Greek temples. | |
| | | |
| | These sections could be characterized as follows: 1. a longish | |
| | declamatory opening; 2. a more stationary "abstract" section for | |
| | chorus and chimes; 3. motivic interlude for soprano, viola and | |
| | tympani; 4. a lyric ending for viola with vibraphone | |
| | accompaniment, later joined by the chorus in a collage effect. | |
| | | |
| | There are a few personal references in Rothko Chapel. The soprano | |
| | melody, for example, was written on the day of Stravinsky's | |
| | funeral service in New York. The quasi-Hebraic melody played by | |
| | the viola at the end was written when I was fifteen. Certain | |
| | intervals throughout the work have the ring of the synagogue. | |
| | | |
| | There were other references which I have now forgotten. | |
