PROGRAM NOTE
The Winds of Time was inspired by the title and content of the poem of the same name by Tanzanian poet and novelist Euphrase Kezilahabi. I created musical elements from the various words, phrases and metaphors in his poem, especially those related to wind and water: watching the waves rising, falling, swelling, surging, and waves being driven by winds. The passage of time, inevitability, darkness, and the poem’s overall despair are represented throughout the ensemble with various bells, drums, winds, exotic instruments, and a few non-standard playing techniques.

Although this work is divided into three connected movements, Waves rising, falling, swelling, surging, Bending space/time, and Colossal chimes, fading light, it is more a rhapsody than narrative in structure. Various themes and motives gradually come into the foreground and recede into the background throughout the entire work, similar to how shells wash up on a shore and then become lost to the sand.

The Winds of Time was commissioned by the Eastman School of Music Wind Ensemble, Mark Davis Scatterday, Conductor, and a consortium of wind ensembles in honor of Eastman’s 100th anniversary.

Grandfathers

Seq17 I The First Kiss Is Not Given With The Mouth, But With The Eyes.

Ballade in G minor, first draft.
Harmonically and melodically mostly written in the last couple of months, although some themes were drafted almost a decade ago which in itself has a special meaning for me since it always lingered in my mind until I decided to finish it.
Will possibly expand upon the composition in the near future.

Ballade for Piano, G Minor

A melancholy piece lamenting the loss of a love with whom they had big plans, but... "It Doesn't Work Without You"

(This song was created in Rob-E's Piano Bar on Feb 13th, 2023)

The Fantasmatic And Mesmerizing Power Of The Mind  777

Keep on going never give up.  No matter the situation keep going.

Keep Going

I wrote this song over 30 years ago and performed it live on stage in front of my high school for a talent show. The winner was a popular kid who lip synced, so meh. I played this song around the house afterward a bit, growing up, but never shared the sheet music.

Only last year, I got a phone call from my sister, telling me my niece wanted to play something from me on the piano. This was not unusual, as she's taking lessons, is very good at it and likes to show me what she's learning. However, I was taken aback to hear her playing MY song from back in high school. She'd never seen the sheet music. She'd never heard me play it. My sister had taught herself to play it from memory of having heard me play it. My niece, in turn, had taught herself to play it from hearing my sister. At this moment, I realized that there was a real possibility of my music hanging around after I'm gone. That was a big push to want to start sharing my music.

Later, when I shared a recording of my niece and I performing the duet version (this, but on two pianos), he was amazed that I knew how to play piano. To me, playing piano is a very important part of who I am... so I was taken aback to find that people around me every day didn't even know I played.

These two events pushed me to make a home studio and start Forget Me Not Records... and both of these events were related to this song.

Enchanting Nocturne in G Minor: Whispers of Shadows

Drift by Jeremias Langsämmer appears on his new album Sleepers. Released to all major platforms soon. Cover photography by Fraser Cormack.

Drift by Jeremias Langsämmer

A piano piece I started writing during the composition of my F-sharp minor Nocturne. Initially, I tried to figure out if I could use it as a middle section of the Nocturne (the F-sharp to G minor modulation was a very alluring challenge), but very soon, it started to gain a consciousness of its own, and the music began writing itself. It is a very dark and somber piece that aptly suits its Elegie name. 
I would describe it as an excursion into contemplation and resignation fostered by the pain of loss and irreversibility. Brief sections into the relative (Faith) and parallel major (Remembrance), and some dance-like drunken stupor (Holding on) offer some respite. The G major restatement of the main theme is my latest addition, simply because I found it beautiful. 
I dedicate this piece to Ivan Bago, a great friend and a monumental influence on my music. Safe to say, I wouldn't be deep in this musical endeavor without him. (He also mentioned he would like to play this piece on his own).

Elegie For Piano, G Minor

Seq09 F    A dialogue between harpsichord and piano (Canon)

My first experiment in a somewhat sonata-like movement that loosely follows the exposition-development-recapitulation cycle, where the second, G major (tethering even on D major) returns in the recapitulation in the home key of C minor. It took me longer to finish than anticipated but in the end, I'm extremely pleased with the result. 

The main theme is one of those themes that simply appears almost on its own when your hands land on the piano. It was a delightful, but chalenging experience trying to develop it and derive new themes from it, in the end I've scraped as many themes as I've included. 

I dedicate this work to my dear friend Ivan Dadić and his wife, Katarina Dadić, who liked the melody so much that she used it as a ringtone for her alarm clock.

Allegro for Piano, C Minor

The main theme of my Aria was also written during my teenage years on a cheap Yamaha keyboard, as a simple flute melody. A dozen years later, after vigorously immersing myself in the music of the old masters, I finally managed to breathe completely new life and meaning into it.

I can confidently say that I drew inspiration from the enchanting and, at times, ethereal serenity of a particular Mediterranean landscape also found in my native province of Dalmatia. This was perfectly captured by a beautiful watercolor painting (courtesy of a magnificent painter, Vanja Kalemba) depicting a white church nestled in a lavender field. The painting may have even spurred me on further to try to encapsulate the feeling of the landscape, a beauty that no one from Dalmatia can ever take for granted due to its constant and ever-present allure.

The form of this composition falls somewhere between a rondo and theme & variations, since all the episode of the rondo form stem from the main melody as, after many experiments, I concluded that a more straightforward musical language better suits the vision of this piece, without the need for complex ornamentation and texture.

I dedicate this composition to my beloved son Karlo, who has brought more serenity and beauty into my life than anything else.
