Transfiguration (for pierrot ensemble)

This piece is an exploration of how two vastly different spaces can inform each other and interact in a more indirect way. When a piece explores two textures, they’re usually interwoven with each other and provide contrasts throughout, but I was curious what would happen if I completely separated them from each other, and made one of them the result of the other. Thus, this piece resembles a becoming of a new sound-world from another, and is namely a kind of transfiguration.

Hey @veps!

Wow!  Great job on this one - I think you definitely met your goal of creating two vastly contrasting textures.  The Shimmering section and the Doloroso section could not be more different from each other.  I am not entirely sure how the Doloroso section results from the previous section.  Is the germ of the thematic content contained in the Shimmering section?  Thanks for sharing and congratulations on a splendid performance!

I can only say that it is a fantastic work and I love it.

I thought about the rain, it just so happens to have rained last night and your piece fits today's mood spectacularly?  

If you want to develop that streak further, look no other way than Takemitsu's Rain named pieces:
