Product details

The title Night songs was inspired by Goethe's "Night Song" (1804). In particular, the music seeks to capture three distinct sensations evoked, directly or indirectly, by Goethe's poem: the sense of freedom and release occasioned by looking up at the sky on a starry night; the sense of wistful longing; and the sense of mystery.

While one of the main sources of melodic inspiration was Sephardic vocal music, from the harmonic standpoint I was influenced by Bartok and Bloch.
