This is a transcription of the cantate: "Ich ruf zu Dir Herr Jesu" of the famous pianist Busoni.(1866-1924) Acoustic environment King's Collage Chapel in Londen.
It's played in a very modest volume so don't pump up the volume!
It's meditative....

Hobbit -  Back in the Shire

The time of the pandemic was marked by countless endless, solitary wanderings through nature. This is captured in this piece for piano and bassoon: as footsteps move steadily through deep snow, memories drift past the mind’s eye— silent, fleeting, and profound.

I recommend listening with headphones.

This composition, "Memoriae Gregorianae," features three "Kyrie Gregoriani" themes:
The first was sung (and notated by me) at the Mass for the enthronement of Pope Leo.
The second theme is the Kyrie theme from the Mass "Cum Jubilo" (IX. - In Festis B. Mariae Virgis).
The third theme is taken from the Mass "In Dominicis Adventus et Quadragesimae" (XVII).
The themes are prepared, introduced, and varied by me very freely.

Questa composizione, “Memoriae Gregorianae” presenta tre temi di “Kyrie Gregoriani”:
il 1° è stato cantato (e da me annotato) nella S. Messa di intronizzazione di papa Leone.
il 2° tema è il tema del Kyrie della Messa “CUM JUBILO” (IX. - In Festis B. Mariae Virgis).
il 3° tema è tratto dalla Messa “In Dominicis Adventus et Quadragesimae” (XVII).
I temi sono da me preparati, introdotti e variati molto liberamente.
