Schoeters, N :: Cosmopolydian
Schoeters, N
Nico Schoeters presents Cosmopolydian for flute and vibraphone - a reduction from the original for solo flute, solo vibraphone, and windband.
From the composer:
Cosmopolydian is my first composition for symphonic windband. It's a solo piece for flute and vibraphone which is dedicated to Inge Smedts, principal piccolo at the Royal Wind Band of the Belgian Guides. It is written in the context of a musical project Cocktail Maison'. All the compositions are inspired by a cocktail. My choice is the Cosmopolitan, but the non-alcoholic version, the mocktail actually.
The title 'Cosmopolydian' is a nod to the lydian scale which I used as a base for the majority of the piece. The idea behind the music is an image of children enjoying themselves, worry-free, during the holidays. Tired but satisfied, they go to sleep and have wonderful dreams. The next day they wake up to start a beautiful new day. The work is constructed in a typical ABA form. A quick first part: 'sparkling allegro', which of course should sound very light and playful. A slow middle part 'warm adagio', in which the beautiful dreams become audible. The last part is a re-exposition of the first part in which eventually all the themes merge into the final.
