A study in arpeggiation reminiscent of Winter from the Seasons, in which "Vivaldi" - a stray cat on the Olympic Peninsula - takes whimsical flight in the last measure. CD of selected Berkey piano music included.
The work was originally commissioned for Edina High School Girl's Choir and is now offered in a vibrant, intense and truly jubilant setting for SATB voices a cappella, incorporating all of the complex rhythms of its original piano part into the pure vocal structure. It is a challenging competition work, suitable for the conductor who can rely on the versatility of a well trained a cappella choir. In Latin. Difficult.
Inspired by the poem, "View Me, Lord, a Work of Thine" by English poet and composer Thomas Campion (1567-1620)
CONTENTS: Jackson Cove Moonrise for piano duet, Chopin Prelude in E Minor Op.28/4 - setting for piano duet by Jackson Berkey, piano solo version of the Chopin Prelude. The composer writes, "The striking similarity of [Jackson Cove Moonrise] to the Chopin prelude is 'completely intended'."
The composer states, "After an initial statement of the familiar folksong, an ostinato pattern first appears alone, stated simply in 5/4 time. But when the familiar tune re-enters, it seems half as fast, and in a normal 2/2. The peaceful coexistence of these two ideas continues throughout the work. The addition of bamboo or metal windchimes provides additional sweetening.)
