The first part is one of the most beautiful pieces of contemporary classical music ever

A real triumph. I’ve been in a serialist/atonal echo chamber at University, what a tonic this is. Thank you David.

That’s because most uni composers don’t know how to write music that audiences or players want to hear, in any genre or style, let alone consider the practical performance needs of performers 🫢

@nilesloughlin6845 That's a gross generalization, but I understand what you're saying. It really depends on who the faculty is.

Reminds me of a mixture of Irish plus oriental music. Very touching and subtle.

this is phenomenal. I've known about David bruce through the KZbin channel for a long time, but have always been put off by this title, and haven't listened to to until now because of that. what a mistake, this is absolutely amazing :)

They've played the piece many times and recorded it, so this was one of those performances that made me feel like my piece was 'part of the repertoire', because it just felt like they knew it inside out. This was a live recording during covid.

The glissando on the clarinet at the beginning of dance 3 must be a nod to Gershwin’s rhapsody in blue

I've been a longtime fan of your main channel but always loved most the videos where you explained your compositions and then let us hear the whole thing. So yeah, loving this new channel of yours and this piece is incredible. Have you written much for bassoon? Please tell me yes, and if the answer is no I want to figure out a way to get a commissioning group going. 100% not kidding, this needs to be a thing. You have my email already from a contrabassoon submission I sent you.

It sounds vaguely Asian to me. Is it based on pentatonic themes?
@natheniel2 жыл бұрын
I think it’s the metre. The irregular (but there are many irregular metre in western sounding music too?) asymmetric (but 22122 at the end is symmetric?) odd (well 3 beat is also odd?) metres in the dances makes it sounds non-western European. The scale does contribute too of course.
