Name: Suite for String Orchestra - 2. Minuet by Thomas Sieg
Duration: 1 min 53 s
Description: In this Suite, which is influenced by Ravel and Vaughan Williams and consists of five movements, I explored old renaissance and baroque dance forms. Stylistically spoken, I enjoyed using modal and contrapunctal techniques.

A refined and sensitive minuet worthy of both Ravel and Vaughan-Williams. Ironically, when VW asked Ravel for orchestration lessons, Ravel's response was, "Write me a minuet."

Song in late romantic style.

Sophia Falk, Soprano

Poem by Julius Sturm (1816-1896)

Komm, o Nacht! - und nimm mich hin,
Dass ich schlafend mich vergesse,
Länger nicht mit wachem Sinn
Meines Kummers Tiefen messe.

Schlafe, müdes, wundes Herz
Deine Klagen sind vergebens.
Schlaf ist Balsam deinem Schmerz,
Traum die Blüte meines Lebens.

Komm, o Nacht

I have the great honor to publish a new version of my unfinished Dream Trio, revised and realized by composer Gerhard Richter of Austria -- myopus on Sound Cloud  -- https://soundcloud.com/myopus If you have listened to my original version of this piano trio, you know that the instrumental sound is poor, especially the violin. 
Herr Richter very generously offered to make a new realization of my work using better instrumental sounds. I gratefully agreed.
 But he has done much more than that, providing a more expressive and realistic virtual performance and improving and extending my composition. I am especially amazed by his wonderful completion of a fugatto I started. It is the work of a master musician, but I am not surprised. Gerhard has composed many top-notch classical works, including a Piano Trio in D-flat that I am especially fond of: https://soundcloud.com/myopus/sets/piano-trio-d-flat-major-des
Thank you, Gerhard! You have made my little piano trio sound better than I ever could!
