This is a short ballet music inspired by the character of Robin "Puck" Goodfellow, from Shakespeare's "A Midsummer's Night Dream", in the lovely adaptation created by mangaka Miuchi Suzue for her delightful masterwork "Glass Mask" (ガラスの仮面). Here I imagined that Puck, while wandering in the forest to retrieve the magical flower of love for Oberon, gets caught up in the charming beauty of nature, and begins to dance... I hope you enjoy my little daydreams! ^_^
The piece is divided into two parts. The first one is assigned to Arabic instruments, which are then joined by piano in the second part.
Now a little more information about this piece:
I refer to this piece as a hybrid Grundgestalt, in that the initial musical fragments were generated by simulating beggar-my-neighbor games (that's the recipe for "my little Grundgestalts", noblogo.org/eidon/why-i-call-my-music-grundgestalt).
Said fragments were then used by me as accompaniment on top of which I composed melodic and rhythmic "foreground material."
The input packs for the beggar-my-neighbor games were transcoded from the following eight lines from the Comedy:
Oberon: My gentle Puck, come hither. Thou rememb’rest
Since once I sat upon a promontory,
And heard a mermaid on a dolphin’s back
Uttering such dulcet and harmonious breath
That the rude sea grew civil at her song,
And certain stars shot madly from their spheres
To hear the sea-maid’s music?
Puck: I remember.
The piece is divided into two parts. The first one is assigned to Arabic instruments, which are then joined by piano in the second part.
The picture is from the scanlated version of Chapter 22 of "Glass Mask", with a simple elaboration with Gimp + G'Mic.
