SONGS IN THE KEY OF LIFE AND LOSS

Yes, and of Light and Love. Yes,and of Lie and Shove… What´s in a title ? What now, delights the premiere the composer ? His sounding brass and low harp and twinkling celesta and all, as it all begins to sound together, the great orchestral mass, sonorous porridge ? Whinny and creak and sing and they all stretch and roar in the deep heart´s core, sounds heard in the inner ear now turn outward in great goblets of chording and a solo fiddle´s line. Taut lep versus clustered brass, wind, strings, percussion. Perfect. Heard now as waves of physics and acoustics. Lovely.
