The Call of Caramoor The pre-concert bells were created for us by Brooklyn-based composer/pianist Timo Andres. His piano concerto for Jonathan Biss, The Blind Banister, was cocommissioned by Caramoor and performed here in 2016. “I love being asked to make something with a very specific directive. In the case of the Call of Caramoor, I knew that meant writing a series of short pieces that would be distinctive without being jarring; that would blend into an outdoor setting while remaining distinct from it; and that would incite a mild but purposeful sense of urgency in the listener. The bell sounds are tuned in ‘just intonation’ which is derived from the harmonic series, giving them a pleasantly outdoorsy attitude — landing somewhere between the concert stage and the surrounding forest.”
