Fantazia

2012

Description

In EnglishSuomeksi

Fantazia (2012) is a four-minute piece for Baroque cello and harpsichord, written in a Renaissance spirit. Fantazia follows the basic structural model of Girolamo Frescobaldi’s Canzonas with alternating slow and fast passages in double and triple meters.

The piece opens with a three-part canon and its inversion (in tempo giusto double metre), followed by a fast galliard. A transitional solo cello rubato passage leads to a four-part canon (in double meter) that is again followed by a galliard, bringing the piece to an energetic end.

Fantazia (2012) on renessanssihenkinen, neliminuuttinen teos barokkisellolle ja cembalolle. Fantazian rakenteellisena esikuvana toimivat Girolamo Frescobaldin (1583-1643) rapsodiset Canzonat, joissa hitaat ja nopeat osat sekä tasa- ja kolmijakoiset tahtilajit vuorottelevat keskenään. Teos alkaa kolmiäänisenä tasajakoisena inversiokaanonina, jota seuraa eloisa kolmijakoinen renessanssitanssi galliard. Sen päätteeksi barokkisellon vapaassa tempossa esittämä kadensaalinen välike johtaa lopputaitteeseen, jossa neliäänistä tasajakoista kaanonia seuraa jälleen kolmijakoinen, kappaleen energiseen päätökseensä saatteleva galliard.
