Liza Lim: Philtre

for Hardanger Fiddle

(1997)

A philtre is a ‘love potion’. This piece for the Norwegian Hardanger fiddle exploits the instrument’s resonance strings (rather like an Indian sitar) with a low-voiced tuning to weave a texture of murmuring resonances.
The work can also be played on a standard violin (tuned FCEB). The Hardanger version has also been played with a higher tuning where the 2 lower strings were retuned up a tone & 2 upper strings down a semitone to give: A E Aflat Eflat. This was in the context of the work being performed together with my other work with hardanger fiddle ‘Winding Bodies: 3 Knots’ (2013).

(Liza Lim)

Liza Lim (*1966 in Australien) is a composer, educator, and researcher whose music focusses on collaborative and transcultural practices. Beauty, rage & noise, ecological connection, and female spiritual lineages are at the heart of works such as Sex Magic (2020) for flutist Claire Chase; the orchestral cycle, Annunciation Triptych: Sappho, Mary, Fatimah (2019–22), and Multispecies Knots of Ethical Time (2023) for gestural performer, film and ensemble. Her work Extinction Events and Dawn Chorus (2018) has found especially wide resonance internationally. She is interested in the plural creativities of collaborating with the ‘more-than-human’ and in speculative questions around the sentiency of things including time, notation and of music itself. Widely commissioned by some of the world’s pre-eminent orchestras and ensembles, Lim is Professor of Composition and Sculthorpe Chair of Australian Music at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. She was a Fellow of the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin in 2021–22 and elected to the Akademie der Künste, Berlin in 2022. Her music is published by Ricordi Berlin.
