Par JARRELL MICHAEL. Composition works like an arborescent structure. At each ramification you choose a path, which depends on the whole dynamic of the whole piece.

J'ai écrit cette pièce mélodique pour ma fille, Paulien. C'est une musique aux sonorités enjouées, expressives et légères qui reflètent sa personnalité. Cette composition débute dans un climat lyrique et rêveur. Le premier passage, doux et délicat, mène à une section imposante et tonique, après quoi l'ambiance se transforme dans le mouvement suivant : ici, la mélodie et l'accompagnement sont léger…

Par VAN DER ROOST JAN. As The Curtain Closes est une composition solennelle rayonnant de noblesse et de fierté qui présente des challenges à tous les pupitres.
