Palaver Strings | Heinrich Biber - Battalia á 10

Battalia á 10 paints the many sides of war with vivid colors, from the swashbuckling beginning to the bitter end. Writing in 1673, Biber used bizarre harmonies and extended techniques to evoke the cacophony of soldiers’ drinking songs, the whistle and pop of cannon fire, the battle of dissenting voices, and the lament for the fallen. His music is full of exuberance, irony, and intimate beauty. For us as musicians, Battalia is just as much about human relationships, on the battlefield or in the concert hall: We band together, we plan, negotiate, imagine and interpret, and sometimes we fall apart. When we imagine together, we visit landscapes that exist beyond the logic of narrative, time, and place. Our visual interpretation of Battalia takes us there, where the concert hall meets the surreal, imagined battlefield in our heads.
