4 PRELUDES MIT INTERMEZZO
Mondfeder Seite 1 – KLICK ZUM ANSCHAUEN
4 Preludes mit Intermezzo für Orchester (2008) – T. Bocklenberg
The orchestral pieces are composed for young musicians. From this Prelude 4 (Mondfeder) was commissioned by the Association of Friends and Supporters of the Music School Dormagen e.V. The preludes are meant to be pictures for the ear – sceneries in a cosmic environment. Titles like Mare Undarum or Cosmic Bowl already point that out. As a didactic work, the performance is intended only for youth orchestras.

Extracts as digital audio samples: bar 62-78 and 106-119

SCHERZO EX ANIMA II

for Guitar and Piano (1989) – T. Bocklenberg
This piece lives on the steady flow of a rhythmic and melodic pattern, which is reminiscent of the South American Milonga. Guitar and piano are merged closely. The image shows the beginning of the main section with its typical rhythmic structure in the piano. You can here this passage at the beginning of the audio sample.
