composition
Water Song : for ensemble; opus 63 / Marijn Simons
Description:
Sunrise, Phoenix and Nocturnal Symphony are three paintings by Emil Ciocoiu forming the Water Song trilogy. In my composition I did not musically "describe" these paintings in a programmatic manner, but I took them as a starting point of inspiration from which a piece of music got born. It's a Phoenix-like rebirth, only without the destructive part. In adding a new creation without destroying the older one, both creations can come together as it did during the world première of Water Song at the ZARVA Festival. There Emil Ciocoiu's paintings were exhibited directly behind the ensemble creating a new visual-auditive experience for the audience. - Marijn Simons
