Minimalist Suite
Hi, I'm new here, so I'm not sure if this is the correct forum / method of posting etc., but I'll have a go anyway.
This is a suite in the minimalist style scored for keyboard instruments: piano, celesta, harpsichord, organ (manuals and pedals). Since this is minimalism, it might be better to go in "experimental" music etc., but it's for a chamber ensemble so I thought it would be ok here.
I - Prelude
This was the first piece I ever wrote. Beware - it's very repetitive, but I was hoping that this was the right idea when it comes to minimalism.
II - Berceuse
This is from the French meaning "flowing", not necessarily a lullaby.
III - Intermezzo
A slightly tongue-in-cheek "bridge" movement, with some unexpected twists.
IV - Fantasia
A sort of finale movement in binary form.
I was planning on another movement involving the following chord progression (all I; on the piano, the first is in RH and the second in LH):
1. C min + G min
2. C min + F min
3. B flat maj + F min
4. B flat maj + E flat maj
5. C min + E flat maj
6. C min + F min
7. C min + G min
