Work introduction
Sunny bagatelle is structured in five parts:
- Sonokini
- Namoloso
- Mezzopizz.a
- Gliss & Bliss
- Hot dot
The first part involves the creation of sound waves, with different densities and shapes, the second part - contrasting, has a whimsical melody, some sections based on muddy textures (namol în Romanian means mud); the fresh sound of the third part is due to the use of the pizzicato technique, and the fourth part accentuates the beauty of the glissandos. The last part involves elements of instrumental theater, in a music that highlights the hot character of punctuated rhythms.
Sunny bagatelle is dedicated to VILLEGRIA Ensemble.
