Product Details

Product Description

Nocturne was inspired by a meteorological phenomenon that is known as noctilucence and refers to shining clouds at high altitudes only observable for a short period of time in the summer twilight sky. In Canada we dont get many summer days, that is why this occurrence 
is particularly special and beautiful. From the first measures the music evokes the feelings of tranquility and ephemeral elegance. Structurally this piece is almost built after some of Chopins Nocturnes which were written in 3-part form and often featured emotional and moving musical material towards the end of the piece. Even though nocturnes are generally meant to depict peaceful night music and my piece certainly opens that way, it does not stay calm and quiet for the duration of the piece because the night, after all, can be full of surprises and mysteries. 
The music is meant to be played with flair and colour, in a light and improvisatory way. This piece was first premiered at the Intimacy of Creativity Festival in Hong Kong in May 2019 with the assistance from Bright Sheng. Following the Audience Choice vote at the festival, and further revised, the piece was brought to the audiences in Philadelphia at the Curtis Institute of Music featuring musicians from the Curtis 20/21 Ensemble in December 2019.
The piece is scored for Clarinet, Violin, Cello and Piano.
 
Duration is approximately 9 minutes.
