Charles Koechlin - Les Bandar-Log "Scherzo of the Monkeys" (1940)

Описание: 00:00 Soft, luminous chords as open woodwind melodies enter
02:14 A sudden "eruption of the monkeys": rapid arpeggios in ever changing rhythm (2:40 lighter and more graceful)
03:17 A comedically heavy and overdramatic dirge, interspersed with the rapid figurations of before
04:57 "Atonal" - A 12-tone parody comes into the mix
07:01 "Return to Bach" - Parodic fugue treatments, polytonal and chromatic
08:57 "Response of the forest" - the chaos ends abruptly, replaced by profound silence: eerie and mysterious percussion (10:00 ghostly violin solo in harmonics)
10:25 "Atonality in the sweetness" - haunting strings
11:10 The fugue themes subtly reenter, colored by lithe figurations, and gradually pick up energy (13:47) into...
14:30 Harsh, biting brass chords heralding a violent, "sparkling and merciless" climax at 15:10
15:52 The harshness falls away and opens up to the peace of the introduction, now extraordinarily warm and bright by comparison (16:53 echos of the energy of before)
