Hamar-Musica para el Museo GuggenheimHamar-Music for the Guggenheim Museum
Hamar (‘ten’ in Basque) is a work composed for the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao in commemoration of the tenth anniversary of its inauguration. The Spanish composer Gabriel Erkoreka conceived a musical piece that was performed during the hours of the museum visit: an installation for a chamber ensemble with piccolo, clarinet, trumpet, trombone, percussion, violin and cello.
Hamar is performed in different rooms simultaneously, with instruments finding each other, so that each visitor has a different musical experience. The composer was proposed to emphasize the relationship between music and other arts: his music is full of movement, as well as the architecture of Frank Gehry, and uses different textures and ‘material’.
