about

The piece was commissioned by the Divertissement Chamber Orchestra and is dedicated to this ensemble.

It was during our initial conversation with the orchestra’s music director Ilya Ioff while we were discussing the future piece that I became interested in composing music which would allude to the great masters of the past. I consciously avoided any kind of stylization though. It was meant to be my music stylistically but which, in a listener’s mind, would somehow evoke certain aspects of, for example, Bach’s or Mozart’s styles.

From the very start I knew that the final part would be titled “schubert: fantasia”. Later came “bach: aria” and “mozart: adagio”. They are framed by a prelude, interlude and postlude based on the Notre- Dame Organum. The middle part “pärt: fratres” is composed similarly and is stylistically the closest to the eponymous oeuvre of this composer.
