In my first Wind Quintet I have attempted to represent a conversation between the various instruments. The work consists of one movement in which three moods flow into each other: Allegro, Grave e mysterioso and Allegro con moto. The main theme presented in the first two bars sets the thematic material for later development.
Aspects of classicism and modernism are incorporated in the melodic and harmonic treatment.
The Quintet begins with a unison statement of the theme spread out over three octaves with the flute taking up the second half of the theme. Once the main theme is established in the repeated section, the piece moves into a reinterpretation using the octatonic collection, where it remains for the rest of the composition.
Thematic material taken from the main theme is developed through both retrograde and inversion as well as through shifting note durations. Contrapuntal and canonic techniques are also used. Variety in colour and texture is achieved through the restatement of material in different solo or combined instrumental voices.
The slow mood in the middle section is a refreshing break from the activity in the first section. It brings in an air of mystery and relaxation with its haunting melodies and contrasting counter melodies before moving into triplets setting the pace for the change into the almost rustic and Nursery Rhyme feel of the final section.
Score and parts are available for performance/ commercial recording by arrangement.

Échos D’un Parapluie Absent

Échos D’un Parapluie Absent by Tom Connell is a captivating piece for piano and light orchestra, where impressionistic beauty meets folk-inspired charm. The flowing melodies and delicate harmonies evoke a wistful yet uplifting atmosphere, reminiscent of rain-soaked landscapes and the quiet poetry of nature.

The piano takes center stage, weaving intricate lines that ripple like raindrops, while the light orchestral accompaniment adds depth and warmth, enhancing the folk elements that lend the piece its distinctive character. This seamless blend of impressionism and folk creates a soundscape that is both timeless and evocative, inviting listeners to immerse themselves in its gentle storytelling.

Échos D’un Parapluie Absent is a harmonious interplay of simplicity and sophistication, celebrating the elegance of understated beauty and the power of music to evoke vivid emotions and imagery.

There´s Someting I Need

lady a | need you now, lovely piano

Frida Boccara won the Eurovision Songfestival in 1969 with this song. It's a ballad with classical style. The Dutch pianist Louis van Dijk made an improvisation on this theme. There was no notation of it so I (16 years old) notated this piece note by note with the help of a taperecorder.
The work of a monk... By this presentation I used The new Ivory Grand selection which sounds marvellous! I recommend the Ivory sections to any serious piano player. Using the KAWAI VPC 1 with wooden, weight keys makes the total picture compleet as playing on a real Steinway!
