Tease

Polevaya, Sophya

About the work

Tease was written for CoMA Ensemble London as part of Royal Academy of Music’s Open Score Project.

The piece incorporates strictly defined rhythmic formations, which are combined with partially indeterminate components (pitch allocation and intervallic structures). The playful, teasing nature of the piece is presented through stark contrasts, unpredictable musical twists, and appearances of jazz and pop gestures blended in a ‘classical’ framework.
