Serij d’Artosis captivates with his latest neo-classical composition, ‘Reve 3: Narges’!
Following the previous two compositions in this series, ‘Reve 1: Vent Fragile’ and Reve 2: Hades et el Fil Noir’ comes the delicate final track, ‘Reve 3: Narges’. The track names signify a mystical, mythological significance to the track’s themes and underlying emotions.
Reve 3: Narges opens with an expressive musical box melody. It lulls you into a sense of calm and tranquility. It’s beautifully poised and graceful, while having all the qualities of a calming, twinkling welcome. Where the musical box melody ends, grand piano tones spring to life, taking the melody to a grand cinematic level. The tone is inescapably wistful and expressive; themes of adventures, thrilling encounters and journeys far and wide come to mind.
Serij’s precise, restrained piano playing is the beautiful centerpiece of this composition. Yet, it’s the way he weaves an expressive, compelling sonic tale through the combined symphony that stands to be admired. Twinkling, upbeat piano tones feature prominently over the composition. Yet, there’s also a fascinating tension and pulsating urgency he’s able to create under the main melody that gradually takes shape. The driving violin sections serve to amplify the emotional tone and gravitas.
‘Reve 3: Narges’ stands out for its immaculately arranged instrumental harmonies and expressive tone. Right from the touching opening musical box tones and the following grand piano arrangements, the track transports one into a sublime, magical world. The kind you want to stay and savor a little longer. This is a track that brings a soothing calm and clarity to your mind and makes for a beautiful score for a contemporary dance performance.
