Fantaisie #3 "Elegy"
by Danaë Xanthe Vlasse
Piano Solo for advanced pianist. Approximately 13 minutes long.
Program Notes:
This 3rd Fantaisie, like the previous two Fantasies, is designed to be a transformative journey in which the listener is taken through a series of emotional experiences and delivered into a new state of being at the end of the work.
The 3rd Fantaisie was commissioned by an advanced pianist who performed it in the 2014-15 concert season in memory of a dear friend who died abruptly 6 months prior. The work begins as a somber funeral to a lost “brother” but rises through a series of emotional outbursts and epiphanies into a great triumph over darkness, and ends with a sense of resolute insistence on “seeing the better side of things” in the face of tragedy. This musical journey “through darkness into light” is designed to celebrate the positive outlook of the friend to whom this work is dedicated.
RIP: “Mister” Jimmy Hepburn 1959-2013
