My musical affective interferences with Eminescu’s poem Se bate miezul nopţii (Bell chimes midnight)

My work for piano Bell chimes midnight... is a sincere tribute to Mihai Eminescu and his poetic universe, with insertions and subtle echoes reminiscent of George Enescu's solo piano piece Carillion nocturne. The work, built on three interchangeable sections, chains traditional chords with clusters and symmetrical, geometric chords and harmonic constructions and combines the harmonic world with lyrical moments and movement passages. Based on resonance, the piece pays pious tribute to some professors I studied with, who recently passed away. Eminescu's poem, through its poetic images, represents the starting point as a poetic and musical universe, but it will be transcendentalized and complemented by modern compositional techniques. My analysis of this piece will include the relationship of music with the text, as well as some considerations on important details that can be revealed thanks to self-analysis and which can constitute nodal points regarding new compositional approaches.

Abstract

My work for piano Bell chimes midnight... is a sincere tribute to Mihai Eminescu and his poetic universe, with insertions and subtle echoes reminiscent of George Enescu's solo piano piece Carillion nocturne. The work, built on three interchangeable sections, chains traditional chords with clusters and symmetrical, geometric chords and harmonic constructions and combines the harmonic world with lyrical moments and movement passages. Based on resonance, the piece pays pious tribute to some professors I studied with, who recently passed away. Eminescu's poem, through its poetic images, represents the starting point as a poetic and musical universe, but it will be transcendentalized and complemented by modern compositional techniques. My analysis of this piece will include the relationship of music with the text, as well as some considerations on important details that can be revealed thanks to self-analysis and which can constitute nodal points regarding new compositional approaches.
