Maya Homburger and Barry Guy span more than a millennium to join ”Veni Creator Spiritus,” the 9th Century hymn Mahler appropriated for his epic eighth symphony, and Guy’s seven-part tribute to Max Bill, a founder of the concrete art and design movement. What Homburger and Guy achieve is rather stun- ning, as they seamlessly bridge an ethereal paean to the Holy Spirit and a vividly abstract contemporary composition inspired by an artist who sought to create works free of symbolism – and sustain a reverent tone throughout the sequence.
These exchanges between past and present – and between media
– are parenthetical to the album’s framing tale, Homburger and
Guy’s ongoing exploration of the dynamism between composi-
tion and interpretation, a journey for which they are uniquely cre-
dentialed. Between them, they have performed with most of the
principal ensembles of the period instrument movement, which
led them to outlier views about the applicability of Baroque-era
thinking about articulations, colorations, and pitch relationships
to contemporary music. INTAKT RECORDS 202
