Fantasia Sertaneja

Bruno Abrantes Basseto's Fantasia Sertaneja for wind quintet is finally available!

Bruno Abrantes Basseto was born in São Paulo, Brazil. Teacher, composer and oboe player, had also worked with electroacoustic music and computer music as a researcher at the University of São Paulo.

Fascinated by the musical gesture and convinced of the existence of a true musical language, he discards the avant-garde conceptualism and devotes himself to the production for traditional vocal and instrumental groups, focusing the communicative aspects of music and its live performance.

His music may be described as deeply evocative and having beautiful and extense melodic lines, with a great care to polyphonic structures. Full of extra-musical meanings, his music makes use of any available compositional technique, with a notorious influence from brazilian popular music and jazz, having Beauty as the unique goal.

A Tribute to Philip K. Dick

Michel Lysight's A Tribute to Philip K. Dick is available.

This work dedicated to the famous SF author shares the instrumentarium of Maurice Ravel's Introduction and Allegro : flute, clarinet, harp and string quartet. It is actually its perfect complement in a concert.

Samples are available on Michel Lysight's page.

Chronographie VIII

Michel Lysight's Chronographie VIII for violoncello or viola and piano is available.
It belongs to the Chronographies serie sharing a common melodico-harmonic material. In this last work, this material is treated in a specific way, appearing sometimes where it is less awaited.
This Chronographie alternates meditative moods (in which the violoncello - or the viola - is fully expressed on the melodic level while the piano gives an harmonic support), with other parts more virtuoso or rhythmic. It is dedicated to Marie Hallynck and Muhiddin D. Demiriz.
Samples are available on Michel Lysight's page.
