Layers: Time & Pattern [2025]

A romantic, dark, possibly sad, but hopeful period drama piece. Beautiful and dramatic. Begins with string quartet/quintet, and then piano, woodwinds and horn are introduced as it crescendos into a key change (modulates/shifts).

About “Ad Parnassum” (Ad Parnassum, 1932)
The dark outline of a pyramid-shaped mountain glows beneath a warm orange sun while an open archway invites the viewer to take the first step on their journey towards enlightenment. Inspired by the pyramids and temples of Egypt, Paul Klee’s pointillistic masterpiece from 1932 is built from contrasting blocks of color built up brick by brick in a style that he called “divisionism.” In the same way, the music takes the form of a rondeau as repeated musical progressions are developed through textural variations. In Greek mythology, Mount Parnassus is associated with Orpheus and the home of the nine muses and “a step towards Parnassus” (gradus ad Parnassum) came to define the gradual process of pursuing mastery in scholarship or the arts through diligent, repeated practice. The climb towards any summit begins with a single step and although that journey can be defined as a series of steps towards a goal, there is no guarantee that the path will be straightforward. The path may be winding, or may double back on itself, or seem to disappear altogether – it is built from small victories, epiphanies, frustrations and defeats – and by the end you have come full circle, stepping through the door towards Parnassus once again, both an exit and an entrance.

Ad Parnassum (1932) - No. 144.1 from Paul Klee : Painted Songs

"Faltering" is a multi-track piano piece that is derived from many strong emotions I have experienced throughout this year, some the happiest I have ever felt, and some very tough to deal with.

Composed by Daniel J Collins

Released on 7 October, 2025

Faltering

Romance & Elegance

Gilded Age

This piece sets the stage before the adventure begins, that calm moment when the title fades in and the world quietly comes to life. Gentle strings and soft chords carry a sense of wonder and anticipation, like the story is waiting just beyond the horizon.
