Vlado Sunko - Toccata

02 Dança brasileira

Where are my car keys?
I looked both hither and yon.
Gone without a trace, from the human race,
Oh where have they gone?

I left the house this morning, to buy a loaf of bread.
I looked inside my pockets, but just found lint instead.

Where are my car keys?
I looked both hither and yon.
Gone without a trace from the human race,
Oh where have they gone?

O Where Are My Car Keys, by Don Jowland

Good Morning!
Good Morning!
You woke up today, so good morning!
You could have died, and made us cry,
But you didn't, so good morning!

Good Morning!

First movement of three part composition "Circling" for guitar quartet, recorded in Studio Deva in Split.
Inspired by a haiku written by the Japanese master Bashô (1644 - 1694).

yo no natsu			summer in the world
kosui ni ukamu			floating on the lake
nami no ue			over waves
		Bashô				(transl. D. L. Barnhill)

A joyful play of light, wind and waves. The weather may turn serious, but only temporarily (a passing storm, score nr. 3). Chirping of crickets deepens the night's magic silence (score nr. 4). The sun rises, and it's the summer joy all over again (score nr. 5)...
The compound rhythm (4+3+2+3) has folkloristic associations (the Balkans), but is in fact closer to African rhythms, as it adds up to 12. The consistent use of instruments also shows an African influence: guitars one and two provide the motoric pulse, while guitars three and four firmly hold the main bottom beat and accents.

Rêverie (Dream) is famous work by impressionism composer Claude Debussy. Here you can hear transcribed version for guitar quartet, recorded live in concert.
More proof, as if it were needed, that Claude Debussy was the master of creating dream-like atmospheres in his piano music. Written in 1890, Debussy's Reverie was one of his first solo piano works to make an impact. There are no fireworks here, no sudden explosions in texture that would come to characterise his later works - this is more of a meditation, the perfect precursor to exploring those later works.

The gently repetitive theme that opens the work feels like a descent into sleepy dream-world (as the title suggests), and as the textures become ever richer the dreams only become more lush and addictive. A fantastic early sign that this Debussy fellow was one to watch…
