A group decomposition for three harpsichords and six players based on the chromatic recercar from Frescobaldi's Fiori Musicali (1635).

Study for Decomposing Flowers I: Frescobaldi Recercar

永遠の夜を生きる吸血鬼たちの美しくも残酷な運命を描いた、荘厳で叙情的なゴシックバラード。
不死の身体に囚われた彼らは、愛を求め、孤独に苛まれながらも、赦されることのない罪と苦悩を抱え続ける。
この楽曲は、終わることのない「渇望」と「呪われた運命の葛藤」を音楽で描き出しています。

月明かりが照らす古城、冷たい棺の中で朽ち果てることのない存在。
触れた愛は静かに壊れ、交わした誓いは「永遠」という鎖となって、満たされぬ心を闇へと沈める——。

幻想的なピアノの旋律と荘厳なストリングスが、夜の静寂を切り裂くように響き、力強くも儚いボーカルが、不滅の魂の葛藤を情感豊かに描き出します。

サビで繰り返される「月下の囚われ人よ 愛を乞い、孤独を知る」というフレーズは、救われぬ愛と深まる孤独のコントラストを象徴し、クライマックスでは激情と儚さが重なり合い、壮大な余韻を残します。

この楽曲は、単なる悲恋の物語ではなく、愛に飢え、孤独に耐えながら永遠の夜を彷徨う吸血鬼の存在そのものを描いた、心を揺さぶる一曲です。

--------------------------------

A majestic and haunting gothic ballad portraying the beautiful yet tragic fate of vampires who dwell in eternal night.
Bound to immortal bodies, they continue to yearn for love while being tormented by unbearable loneliness, forever burdened by sins that can never be forgiven.
This piece captures the endless "craving" and "struggle against a cursed fate" through music.

Within the pale moonlight, an ancient castle stands silent.
A figure rests in a cold coffin, untouched by time.
The love once felt has quietly shattered, and the vows once made have become chains of "eternity," dragging a restless heart deeper into the shadows.

A delicate piano melody entwines with majestic strings, piercing the silence of the night.
The powerful yet fragile vocals resonate with emotional depth, echoing the struggles of an immortal soul lost between sorrow and longing.

The chorus repeats the poignant line:
"Prisoner beneath the moonlight, longing for love yet consumed by loneliness."
It symbolizes the contrast between unreachable love and deepening isolation.
As the song reaches its climax, sorrow and passion intertwine, leaving a lingering sense of grandeur and despair.

This piece is more than a tragic love story—
It is a profound reflection on the existence of a vampire, forever wandering the endless night, yearning for love yet bound by eternal solitude.

Featured as the 2nd track on the original album “Vampires’ Diaries.”

If this song resonates with you, I would be truly grateful for your support!

The Dancing Banjo

Si dolce è'l tormento
Music by Claudio Monteverdi; text by Carlo Milanuzzi
Arranged by Ashok Gupta

Performers: Patrick Terry, countertenor;  Ashok Gupta, piano
Recorded by Tom Mungall, April 2023

This is an arrangement I wrote for countertenor and piano of Monteverdi's beautiful song

English translation © Nicholas Cornforth
So sweet is the torment
That lies in my heart,
That I can live content
With unfeeling, infatuating beauty. 
In this earthly paradise 
Vanity grows
And piety fades:
Yet like a rock 
Against the wave of pride
My faith will always hold fast. 

False hope
Turns away from me,
Neither pleasure nor peace
Descend upon me,
And the unholy woman I adore
Does not grant me the relief
Of her favour: 
Amidst infinite pain
Amidst forlorn hope
My faith will live on. 

From fire and ice
I have no respite 
but at heaven’s gates
I will find peace…
if the fatal blow
of an unwavering arrow
pierced my heart,
overturning my fate
brought by death’s dart 
I will heal my heart… 

If the flame of love
Has never yet been felt
By the hard heart
That has stolen my own,
If I am shown no pity
By the cruel siren
That has enchanted my soul: 
Then let it be that one day,
Languishing in pain and repentance,
She will sigh for me.

Si dolce è'l tormento Claudio Monterverdi arr. Gupta

L'un a reçu une formation musicale (Albert), l'autre est autodidacte (Chartrand Saint-Louis), tout en ayant recours aux conseils d'Albert.

L'un a joué dans sa jeunesse (Albert) et renoué plus tard avec la musique, l'autre a découvert le jeu musical à l’âge adulte (Chartrand Saint-Louis). 

L'un et l'autre – compagnon et compagne dans la vie – cheminent dans le monde de l'improvisation et de la composition musicale en parcourant leurs intuitions, impressions, sentiments et observations de la vie.

Ensemble, ils créent un espace où leurs talents musicaux se fusionnent et se complètent.

Leur musique est empreinte d’une atmosphère introspective et paisible. Leurs compositions, principalement au piano, évoquent des émotions subtiles et invitent à la réflexion.

Leurs thèmes musicaux sont étroitement liés à leur amour de la nature.

« Il faut composer tout de suite, se mettre dans le bain et s'instruire en créant. »
– Balakirev

«De la simplicité, de la sincérité, il n'y a rien de tel...»
– Moussorgsky

« Il n'y a pas de théorie : suffit d'entendre. Le plaisir est la règle. »
– Debussy

One received musical training (Albert), the other is self-taught (Chartrand Saint-Louis), while resorting to Albert's advice.

One played in his youth (Albert) and later returned to music, the other discovered musical playing as an adult (Chartrand Saint-Louis).

Both – companions and companions in life – journey through the world of improvisation and musical composition, exploring their intuitions, impressions, feelings and observations of life.

Together, they create a space where their musical talents merge and complement each other.

Their music is imbued with an introspective and peaceful atmosphere. Their compositions, mainly on the piano, evoke subtle emotions and invite reflection.

Their musical themes are closely linked to their love of nature.

« You have to compose straight away, get into the swing of things and learn by creating. »
– Balakirev

« Simplicity, sincerity, there is nothing like it... »
– Moussorgsky

« There is no theory : just hear. Pleasure is the rule.»
– Debussy

Hello Folks, 

Welcome to my humble page! A little about me: Mid 30s  business lady by day, music obsessed creative fiend by night. I do mean OBSESSED….Music lives in my head and can not stop coming out of it! I grew up listening  to  all kinds of music so my  creations have been influenced by live instruments and orchestral melodies marrying the  beat and rhythm of dance music.  Piano - trained and a hobby vocalist of sorts , music is  how I deal with the world.  As of 2024 , embarking on a  journey to learning the guzheng and cello. Some paint some build, some write… This girl tells stories with her music.  Take a pause and listen. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy setting  them loose into the world !
