Canto Ostinato

 

Canto Ostinato is a work by the Dutch composer Simeon ten Holt. The play was written in 1976 and performed for the first time in 1979. It has become its most popular and most performed play.

The most remarkable aspect of his work is the freedom given to the performers. This piece can be performed with different instruments and a different number of performers. Most of the time, it is played by two or four pianists, but it can adapt very well to instruments such as marimbas and vibraphones.

We can also imagine an interpretation with three marimbas and even add a pianist or an electric keyboard like Fender rhodes.

Other aspects that can illustrate this freedom can be understood by the very construction of the piece. Trio alone or Trio + guests (Percussion, Pianos, Organs, Rhodes…)
