Nerve

NERVE by Yannis Kyriakides
for Orchestra, sampler and text projection (2012)
Performed by the Lithuanian State Symphony Orchestra,
conducted by Jurjen Hempel, at the Gaida Festival 27 Oct 2017
Nerve deals with the phenomenon of stage fright. A projected text describes a first person account of stage fright from the point of view of a hypothetical pianist, who is about to go on stage to perform a piano concerto. The musical material of the work is loosely based on the opening eight bars of Rachmaninoff's second piano concerto. The piano is set up in front of the orchestra as if the audience were about to hear a piano concerto, and as if the soloist is about to walk onto the stage.
The piece was originally written for Jeugd Orkest Nederland (Dutch Youth Orchestra) in 2012.
