RhysBees Arts Creative Commons License Attribution Non-Commercial Share Alike 4.0 April, 25 2021 Rhys-Maxwell P. Barnes-Yu Paris par la Seine a short piece for chamber orchestra Paris par la Seine was written to emulate three aspects of riverside Paris. All three of these aspects play into the larger theme of transportation. The first aspect is the Seine itself, the second is the metro system, and the third is the winding city streets. The "water" section spans from mm. 1-47 and seeks to portray rolling currents. The mode used (024579) is symmetrical, and I hoped that it would have similar vibe to the Gymnopedies or Pas sur la Neige. In the minimal percussion section, the pianissimo rolled bass drums provides a darker undercurrent while the suspended cymbal showers us in delicate waves. The "train" section, mm. 47-77, takes on a much more mechanical feeling, incorporating much more percussion as well as a different set of pitch classes (01348) which are frequently transposed using ordered transposition. In addition, the overlapping rhythms create a vibe of perpetual motion before screeching to a halt at mm. 66 before taking off once more. The "road" section, mm. 77-93, utilises the now common prime (027) - quartal/quintal chords reduced to a trichord. The steady walk of the bass voices provides a contrast to the more flitting upper voices. Finally, to end the piece, there is a return to the "water" content. 2021
