FROM ONE VESSEL TO ANOTHER: REFLECTIONS ON THE MUSIC OF NAOMI PINNOCK

Abstract

AbstractThis article explores aspects of the work of the composer Naomi Pinnock, focusing on six works written between 2012 and 2019: String Quartet No. 2 (2012), The Writings of Jakob Br. (2013), Lines and spaces (2015), Music for Europe (2016), The field is woven (2018) and I am, I am (2019). Each work is analysed and the analyses contextualised within a discussion of the works by other artists that form a creative hinterland to Pinnock's music: respectively art from the Sammlung Prinzhorn, paintings by Paul Klee and Agnes Martin, and the poetry of Rachael Boast.
