Composed by Keith Moss (b.1982). 20th Century,Concert,Contemporary. Score and parts. 49 pages. Keith Moss #3469748. Published by Keith Moss (A0.976993)."Cagn" endeavors to depict the South African landscape using sound colours that allude to the Khoi-San. A homage to my mentor Péter Louis van Dijk, these gestures are achieved by making use of extended techniques in the stringed instruments. According to San mythology Cagn (Kaang) is the supreme god of the San and creator of the world. He has the ability to transform himself into various creatures but mostly takes the form of a praying mantis.
The form of the work is a theme and variations. Just as Cagn was a trickster in the spiritual realm of the San, so is this piece. The work begins with the last variation working forwards towards the theme, which is heard at the end rather then in its traditional place at the beginning.
