Sleepless Nights - Improvised Piano Piece

„Wenn ich gegangen bin“  (24.08.2023 )

Ich sitze am Ufer eines Sees. Die Sonne neigt sich im Horizont.
Spiegelt im See einen goldenen lichtdurchfluteten Pfad in die weite Unendlichkeit.

Es ist noch Zeit ? 

Eines Tages werde ich diesen Weg im Sonnenuntergang über diesen goldenen Pfad der Ewigkeit schreiten.

Gehen über zarte goldene Wellen völlig Eins sein mit dem See.

An das andere Ufer durchschreite ich das große Licht der Ewigkeit.

Wenn ich gegangen bin.

"When I'm Gone" (08/24/2023)

I am sitting on the shore of a lake. The sun is sinking on the horizon.
Reflected in the lake a golden light-flooded path into the wide infinity.

There is still time ?

One day I will walk this path at sunset on this golden path of eternity.

Walk across gentle golden waves, being totally one with the lake.

I cross the great light of eternity to the other shore.

When I'm gone

Thank you for visiting and listening.

Pink Summer

Pink Summer by Lise Jonsson

Sweet Dreams Juliet

Commissioned by the Lithuanian National Philharmonic for the concert series “Viva Musica Via Baltica” (Vilnius - European Capital of Culture) and composed for Sinfonietta Rīga

The structure of the two-layered score of “Elongation of Nights” reminds of the elongation of night while the day is getting shorter: one layer is setting down and getting quieter which makes way for the second layer that becomes louder and pulsates with elongating sounds. Every player has its own part (21 in total) similar to the echoes of a canon, thus such a monochromatic orchestra sounds like a utopian 84 string instrument. The harmony of the piece is based entirely on fifths, derived from the natural tuning of strings. Morton Feldman would have probably called such piece as “Fifths in my Life”.

Dedicated to autumning Vilnius.

Duration
8'30''

Recording
Released by the Lithuanian Music Information and Publishing Centre in 2010 in "Zoom in 8: new music from Lithuania".

"In the music of Justė Janulytė the sound unfolds as an autonomous event, with incredible lightness, as a confluence of energies, which transform it into increasingly dilated harmonies. No beat, no apparent rhythm, just the ‘deaf’ pulsation perhaps, a downtempo, as some kinds of the electronic music are qualified; the swelling of intensities, the saturation of space, and then eventual return to the state of calm, which is already different, marked and disturbed. The importance of material that found reflection in the titles of her works: Textile (for orchestra, 2006), Aquarelle (for choir, 2007), Silence of the Falling Snow (for two pianos, 2006), Endings (for 4 saxophones, 2005)... But the most important is metamorphosis, a very personal one and therefore instantly recognisable. This is not the telluric forces in Xenakis, or the atomic process in Ligeti, but rather an irradiant form. Elongation of Nights, the second score for string orchestra after the White Music, with which the composer made her public debut in 2004, gives a good example of such radiation. Some kind of timeless, floating metamorphosis. A strikingly innovative dramaturgy of sound..." Antoine Gindt | MUSICA festival brochure, 2011

"Elongation of Nights" for string orchestra (2009)

Accompanied by a strange mix of relief and sadness, it is with great pleasure that I am finally letting go and releasing my fourth and final movement to my Symphony No. 4. 

It is also my pleasure to announce that Liz Dicker @Liz-Dicker is simultaneously  releasing her beautiful and moving performance of a piano piece I wrote based in part on this final movement.  If you would like to listen to it, please click on this link: https://soundcloud.com/liz-dicker/evie-by-christopher-larkins

I wish it was not the case, but as a result of COVID19, I have been able to invest more time into writing this Symphony than any prior composition. Thus, I think it is only fitting that I dedicate the whole work to the recognition of how much suffering people throughout the world has had to endure as a result of this terrible virus.  

Within the journey of this movement and the Symphony as a whole, there are numerous twists and turns, and just like life, it is far from all smooth sailing. I hope though, that you feel as I do, that there are many passages throughout the Symphony that celebrate life.  But to me, even though this last movement does lament what is lost, it is within the last few bars where the journey finally releases an unequivocal affirmation of the beauty and majesty of life.  

Whatever you glean from the work, I hope its was worth listening to.

The picture for this movement is taken from the exact same place that the picture for the 3rd movement was taken.   The 3rd movement's picture was taken shortly after my neighborhood had been ravaged by wildfire.  This picture was taken a few months later after we had rejuvenating winter rains in Southern California.  As you can see, the hillsides came rushing back to life.  Hopefully, the world will rejuvenate and recover very soon from the ravages of COVID.

As always, thank you for listening and do stay healthy.

I make music. All the stuff on here is mostly commissions for film and TV, or just sketches and ideas that would otherwise never see the light of day. I also write under the name Origamibiro. Studio albums of that and work under my own name can be found in the usual outlets. Thanks for listening. Tom.
