Pro et Contra is fully representative of Gubaydulina's fondness for working in long, slow-moving time-units. It was the result of a commission from the Louisville Orchestra. (Located in the largest city in the U.S. state of Kentucky, this symphony had been known for 40 years for its ambitious program of commissioning new orchestral music.)Requested by 13mh13
Its scoring is for a large orchestra: Its woodwind section adds all the common auxiliary orchestral winds except English horn, the brass section is the standard 4.3.3.1 configuration, and its uses a large string section. Two harps, celesta, harpsichord, and piano are supplemented by a six-person percussion section that is heavily oriented towards gongs, drums, and cymbal of various sizes, plus bell sounds of high and low range, and xylophones and marimbas.
The composition lasts 40 minutes or more. It is symmetrically structured in a large arch form, with two movements of ten minutes' duration flanking a large 21-minute middle movement.
Although the title means "For and Again," this is not a work of contrasts. The slow moving sounds merge into each other or are layered in offset fashion so as to present a slowly turning kaleidoscope of rather austere orchestral color. Virtually all the tempo markings in the first two movements are in the moderate range. The music maintains an almost unbroken feeling of peace and calm throughout these two movements. The last movement, however, is in a faster tempo and does rise to full-orchestral outbursts.
The style is an example of post-atonal extended harmony. The music tends to center around an somewhat uncertain tonality. Gubaydulina does find contrast in the percussion section, as the deep drums, gongs, and the low sounds of piano and harp contrast with the percussions, keyboard instruments, and harps that can make high sounds.
Standing at the center of the arch, and instantly noticeable, is the traditional Russian Orthodox "Allelujah." The whole musical structure works towards this central point, then works back away from it.Joseph Stevenson @ AllMusic
