Funerailles d'un sorcier

[ronde_des_sylphes]

This piece started life as a pure improvisation about five years ago. I've subsequently written it out and made a few minor tweaks (principally amending the cadenza-like passage towards the end).

Recorded during a long session on a church piano (Weinbach grand).

Essentially it is a very free fantasia on the Dies Irae motif, which comes and goes throughout the piece, cropping up in a lot of places embedded in the texture.

Dark stuff!

Really enjoyable composition, immediately captures your attention all the way to the end.
