Score Details

Cirrus, Wind and White for concert mandolin & guitar is a recomposed arrangement of a solo work from the Once Around the Sun collection. This music for duo was inspired by the memory  Mount Blanc in the French Alps.

Here, there is a vital energy evoking the dynamics of wind and sky in high mountains, where one experiences feelings of lightness and exuberance.

The brief “Lento” section offers a meditative chorale, a lull, a quieter time before the music returns to its initial spirited musicality.

Cirrus, Wind & White was premiered by the Mare Duo on September 21 2023 at Schloss Benrath - Dusseldorf, Germany.
