| There are occasional blatant echoes of Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring, strings and brass indulging in rapid hocketing, or percussion and timpani erupting with primal energy. Future critics may distinguish Jackson Pollock's cyclings from the nebulae of Dial by linking Pollock to the heating up of abstraction under the pressures of Thomas Hart Benton (his sexy lines), bop, Navaho sandpainting, Pablo Picasso, and others, linking Dial to the ring shout, hocketing fusions of voice and face and tiger. Three sections of the mass from the Avignon repertoire showed how playful a composer could dare to be in the rebel papal court, rejoicing in devices like hocketing - the rapid exchange of notes between different voices, in their dancing upper lines. |
