about

Galina U has been compiled from compositions that Henneman contributed to the Queen Mab Trio albums, See Saw and Thin Air, along with ‘Overtoom’, from a previously unreleased recording session. For See Saw Henneman contributed three tracks: ‘Marilyn L’, ‘Lori F’ and ‘Galina U’. The latter is an evocative ode to the Russian composer Galina Ustvolskaya, in which Henneman endeavours to mirror Ustvolskaya’s idiom with ominous, compelling rhythms and piano chords hammered out with full force, and she succeeds in coming unmistakably close while fortunately retaining her own vocabulary. It is a rough-hewn and intractable work that is harrowingly uncomfortable. It is as if Henneman were holding up Ustvolskaya’s inexorability as an example and after all these years is at last obeying her own will unreservedly. Henneman is more clearly present as a musician in this trio than in her own ensembles. The compositions are also more lucid because they are pared down even more, are better able to accommodate emptiness and silence, thus setting off the contrasts even more keenly. All three musicians share equal responsibility for the music, which might explain why Henneman grows into a role as commentator here, someone who complements the conversations with measured interventions and manages to shift the modality. The viola sometimes merges seamlessly into the unruly sound of clarinet and piano; at other times it stands out clearly. Henneman often deploys the viola percussively and she dares to bring out what has been described as ‘beautiful, but not in any conventional sense’ – her signature sound on the viola – with vivacious, unorthodox techniques.
