Balladei for Margo Schulter (live version)

Here's an mp3 of a fantastic live performance of my piece Balladei, performed by pianist Shiau-Uen Ding:

At some point, I would like to try to explain with pictures and what-not how the piece relates to Margo Schulter's "neo-gothic" ideas, but in the meantime, I think you can hear lots of vestiges of "double-leading tone cadences" and so on in the piece.

It's a long piece (24'). . . . I recommend listening to it loud on headphones to get the full effect. Also, if you just want an excerpt at first, try some stuff from around the middle of the piece.

Thanks,
C Bailey

Striking piece! The exposition motifs remind me of the `mors d'empose`
(Michel Lysight-Monochrone) I played on my graduation exam at the Brussels
Royal Conservatory.

Cordially,
Oz.
