Piano Night Pieces

Claude Debussy Rêverie L. 68

Claude  Debussy  wanted  to  be  Eric  Satie,  and  Eric  Satie  wanted  to be  Claude  Debussy.
Anyway - Debussy - the  pioneer  who  worked  in Indonesian Gamelan compositions  into  his  own  work or music  of  the  Orient composed  the  Arabesques at  a  time  where the  Orient  had  been  very  influential , culturally  to  Europe.

Bastian Lee Jones  -  with  his  cosmopolitan heritage - loves  to  play  Debussy.  That is  his version of  Arabesque  no.1 -
a  take  which will be included  in his  piano solo classic  album  called: CLIMAXUAL  INTIMACIES

Midnight Whispers

Story
🎵 The Singing Mirror
High in the mountains of Arzulea, where the wind speaks in forgotten tongues and the trees whisper secrets of ages past, there existed a relic that no wise man dared name without shuddering: the Singing Mirror.
It was no ordinary mirror. Its surface reflected not faces, but melodies. Whoever approached it did not see their image, but heard a unique song, composed instantly by the mirror's soul. Each note revealed a hidden truth: a buried memory, a lie told, a wish never confessed.

🌑 The Legend of Laira
Laira, a young troubadour from the underground city of Eltur, had heard of the mirror in her grandmother's songs, who said it was forged by the gods of sound and silence. It was said that the mirror sang only once per person, and that its song could heal or destroy.
Driven by a night vision in which her voice broke before a black moon, Laira set out on her journey. She climbed impossible cliffs, crossed rivers that sang in water dialects, and finally reached the mirror's sanctuary: a crystal cavern suspended in the air by tree roots that never touched the ground.

🎶 The Mirror's Song
As she drew closer, the mirror began to vibrate. It emitted not light, but chords. The melody that emerged was a sweet lament, as if the mirror were crying for her. In each measure, Laira heard fragments of her life: her mentor's betrayal, the love she never confessed to her friend Kael, and the fear that had made her flee her destiny as Keeper of the Echoes.
But then, the music changed. It became ascending, luminous, as if the mirror were showing her not only what had been, but what could be. In a final chord, the mirror sang its true name: “Laira of the Seven Timbres, Voice of Rebirth.”

🌠 The Awakening
As the song ended, the mirror shattered into a thousand fragments that floated like stars. Each one embedded itself in the air, forming a constellation that only the singers could see. Laira descended from the mountain with a new voice: one that could reveal truths through song, as the mirror did.

Classical Collections The Masters, Vol. 4

Suite No 2 In B Minor

Sur la luzerne en fleur assise,
Qui chante dès le frais matin ?
C'est la fille aux cheveux de lin,
La belle aux lèvres de cerise.

L'amour, au clair soleil d'été,
Avec l'alouette a chanté.

Ta bouche a des couleurs divines,
Ma chère, et tente le baiser !
Sur l'herbe en fleur veux-tu causer,
Fille aux cils longs, aux boucles fines ?

L'amour, au clair soleil d'été,
Avec l'alouette a chanté.

Ne dis pas non, fille cruelle !
Ne dis pas oui ! J'entendrai mieux
Le long regard de tes grands yeux
Et ta lèvre rose, ô ma belle !

L'amour, au clair soleil d'été,
Avec l'alouette a chanté.

Adieu les daims, adieu les lièvres
Et les rouges perdrix ! Je veux
Baiser le lin de tes cheveux,
Presser la pourpre de tes lèvres !

L'amour, au clair soleil d'été,
Avec l'alouette a chanté.

(Charles-Marie LECONTE DE LISLE, Chansons écossaises)

Claude Debussy - La Fille Aux Cheveux De Lin

1ère Gymnopédie.

Live video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZd4BYOzXBo

Lent et douloureux.
Slow and sorrowful.

"Oblique et coupant l'ombre un torrent éclatant; Ruisselait en flots d'or sur la dalle polie; Où les atomes d'ambre au feu se miroitant; Mêlaient leur sarabande à la gymnopédie."

"Slanting and shadow-cutting a flickering eddy
Trickled in gusts of gold to the shiny flagstone
Where the atoms of amber in the fire mirroring themselves
Mingled their sarabande to the gymnopaedia"

- Contamine de Latour

The instrument is a Clavia Nord Stage 2 using a sampled Yamaha C7 with a generous amount of reverb and phaser, and a thin layer of strings.

Arcangelo Corelli, 12 Violin Sonatas, Op. 5, Violin Sonata No. 12 in D minor, 'La Folia', Vars. 1-7
