Wirren · Perlen
pixel
pixelMing Wang
What a joy it is that we can still experience beautiful moments and find inner peace through music – moments that in a turbulent world appear like pearls bathed in soft light. The quotations from Erik Satie’s Gymnopédies that turn up unexpectedly in Ming Wang’s composition represent such precious jewels: fragile memories of peace, clarity and timeless simplicity. Yet simultaneously we are aware of living in an age of deep uncertainty — wars, a pandemic, environmental catastrophe, global crises and political unrest. These conditions are equally reflected in Wirren·Perlen (‘Confusion· Pearls’ ) — in the painful note clusters, the sharp, abrasive dissonances and the occasionally overpowering musical gestures.
A scaffolding of chords lies at the heart of the piece. Hidden in the background, this structural device holds together the consciously stage-managed confusion while lending the apparent chaos an inner order, in which the pearls of silence and holding back reveal themselves.

Motets: Ad supernam coeli mensam & Exsultate Deo, adiutori nostro pixel
pixelPietro Antonio Fiocco
Early in 2025 Michael Talbot identified as previously unrecognized compositions by Pietro Antonio Fiocco (1654–1714) a group of eight Latin motets scored, like chamber duets in the secular domain, for two voices with continuo. Six different combinations are used: two sopranos, soprano and alto; soprano and tenor; soprano and bass; alto and tenor; alto and bass.

Den lille danserinnen (‘The Little Ballerina’) evokes a charming, gracious, light-footed dancer, while Nocturne makes the piano sing in the romantic tradition. Both these delightful short pieces would be ideal encores!
