Description
Brazilian composer Marcos Balter composed "Descent from Parnassus" for solo flute.
As included in the comments of Claire Chase's performance at the Art Institute of Chicago: "The Art Institute of Chicago commissioned a new work for Chase in January 2012 by the Chicago-based Brazilian composer and longtime collaborator Marcos Balter. The piece, scored for solo flutist doubling a virtuoso vocal part (from Dante’s Canto Paradiso), is inspired by Cy Twombly’s The First Part of the Return from Parnassus (1961), which resides in the Institute’s permanent collection. A short film of the work performed at the Art Institute in front of the painting was produced by Karen Chester with videography by Ross Karre."
