Navigating the Nocturnes is based on the Chopin’s Nocturne no. 19 in E-minor (Op. posth. 72 no. 1). A piece inspired by the unique mood and atmosphere of Chopin’s nocturnes. The piece involves a short quote from the accompanying bass line of the first few measures of the Nocturne no. 19 with the original melody that I composed in style of Chopin’s nocturnes. The elaborate accelerando grace note-like passages slowly morph into driving, repetitive figures layered against each other in contrapuntal fashion.
Chopin - Alter Ego is a collection of nine pieces for marimba and vibraphone based on a body of works by F. Chopin. The work is based on the total of fourteen music examples from Chopin’s repertoire that are quoted, reworked rearranged, used as basis for motivic development or functioning as a general inspiration. Each piece in the collection is based on a different musical form used by Chopin (etude, nocturne, mazurka, scherzo, waltz and ballade). The pieces function as independent entities that can be performed separate from each other but at the same time they all together create a large, closed form with specific dramatic unfolding and movements to be performed in the specified order. In addition, the four Scherzos themselves also create a closed structure and can be approached as a separate four-movement piece.
