Stravinsky: Le Sacre du printemps

Stravinsky_ Le Sacre Du Printemps (The Right Of Spring), Part 1, L'Adoration De La Terre (Veneration Of The Ancestors)_ 2. Les Augures Printaniers - Danse Des Adolescentes [feat. New York Philharmonic]

Vishnevskaya:Recital

Songs and Dances of Death: No. 1, Lullaby (Orch. Shostakovich)

The piece is divided into 8 sections, which each time extends followed by a number sequence: 3, 2, 3, 2, 3, 2, 3, and 2. In this case, the last section becomes twice longer than the previous one, representing the effect of longing, which means Pratiksha in Indian language. The harmony is based on the chromatic transposition down of the chord of three pitches until it supplement the first chord (upper tetrachord) to the full Indian raga scale.
Also, I was inspired by gamaka’s definition that they are basically connective forces and the manner of travel from one note to another. There are 32 ways of gamaka’s, which are mainly responsible for the aesthetic enjoyments in the entire performance, differing from each artist. My intention not to represent gamaka's, but use them in such a way, that they could transform into microtonal ornamentation of the melodic cycles.
The work is commissioned by the Wigmore Hall with the support of André Hoffmann, President of the Fondation Hoffmann, a Swiss grant-making foundation. The world is dedicated to the ensemble Apartment House.
