A Tempestade - Danilo Valadão

MIDI Realization

Program Notes:
This “Chaotic Dance” is the sixth of a series of pieces I’ve written with the same title and share some basic aspects: vigorous affection, ostinato material, almost ritualistic rhythmic force, contrasting simultaneous layers, parallelism, chromatic exploration, among others. At this particular piece, a great deal of attention was given to thematic variation and polyrhythm. It also contains many passages where the theme or any given material is written in a time signature and the accompaniment or simultaneous element is written in another. It starts with a counterpoint rich in chromatism in a slow tempo that first presents fragments of the thematic materials that is going to be heard futher. This counterpoint works as a introduction to the “dance”, in a fast tempo, where is presented the series of themes that will be combined and transformed in various ways. The moments of the piece variate from contrapunctual texture to melody and accompaniment, to complex texture formed by contrasting elements in rhythmic behavior. “Chaotic Dance n. 6” brings dialog between rhythmic regularity and irregularity that it triggers familiarity and surprise.
