Thank You Dirk for this great opportunity, and for the even greater track! 
"This is the first of a series of open collabs for my next album "einklang" .

the track is at 90 bpm !

I am looking for any kind of electronic, ambient, ethnik, duduk, grooves or whatever gives us the chills.... no lyrics, no vocals this time :)

First reason to join into this collab should be fun and passion for music and no guarantee that the track will make it on the album but if it makes it, we will share 50/50 in case the track will generate more than 100 € a year (which is hard enough :). Full credit is understood..."

More from me:) http://www.beatport.com/artist/peter-sas/402239

さくら色の気持ち

This deeply soulful piece is "Lied des Bauern" (Song of the Peasant), the second work from Edvard Grieg's "Lyric Pieces, Book 8," Op. 65, published in 1897. Marked Andante simplice and cantabile, it is a masterful four-part chorale that conveys profound emotion through seemingly simple means.

While its exact origin story is unknown, it strongly evokes the feeling of a Norwegian folk melody. My personal interpretation is that of an older farmer reflecting on his life—a life of hard, repetitive work, yet one deeply connected to the beauty and cycles of nature.

The piece unfolds in a beautiful two-part (A-B-A) structure. The main theme, introduced at the beginning, is a gentle, song-like melody that ascends and descends with a calm, humble grace. It’s a moment of quiet, content reflection.

This simple theme then transitions into a remarkably complex middle section. Here, Grieg introduces a chromatic, descending line filled with rich, shifting harmonies. This part feels more pensive, perhaps a touch of melancholy, acknowledging the hardships and seriousness of life. The tension builds gently, culminating in a stunningly beautiful harmonic friction (a C# clashing with a D in an A-major context) that creates a moment of breathtaking release before returning to the main theme.

The piece concludes with a final, hushed repetition of the theme, fading away to a triple-pianissimo (ppp) chord, as if the farmer, at peace, is slowly drifting off to sleep. It’s a masterful composition where the simple and the complex, the joyful and the melancholic, are held in perfect, moving balance.

Edvard Grieg, Peasant's Song, Andante semplice, A-major, op. 65, No. 49
