Louis Andriessen: De Materie (1985-1988)
In De Materie (1985-1988)--called "one of the most significant scores produced by a European composer in the last 20 years"--Dutch iconoclast Louis Andriessen explores the porous boundaries between objective and subjective truth by examining relationships between physical matter and atomic physics, religious ecstasy, artistic inspiration, love, and death, with texts ranging, a vision by the 13th-century Dutch mystic Hadewijch to a treatise by the 17th-century Dutch scientist/philosopher Gorlaeus,, Marie Curie's journal to recollections about Piet Mondrian's love of boogie-woogie,, a sonnet by Willem Kloos to mathematical and shipbuilding textbooks.
