Andriessen�����s De Staat - Asko|Schönberg

Renowned work by Andriessen and new work by Oscar Bettison

When composing De Staat, Andriessen was inspired by minimal music but applied minimalism in his own unique way. Bettison writes his piece for the same line-up as De Staat. He sees his work as a 'nocturnal chamber of wonders'. A group of pianos, harps, and guitars forms the core in the centre of the stage, while some musicians change positions. The singers encourage the brass instruments and invoke the night.
