M. Badian: Mirrored Reflections of the Ottawa Valley for String Orchestra

Movements: I. Distant Images; II. In Loving Memory; III. Imaginary Country Dance; IV. Landscape.
The music evolves from a fusion of lyrical, evocative, and cheerful aural memories and images. It resonates with the vibrant spiritual force of Romanian folklore and composer Maya Badian’s ability to use sounds. She crystallizes the structural ambiguities of the composition, with ample breadth of materials and techniques, while retaining a cohesive vision of the entirety. Badian expresses an imagined journey, truly evocative of a tangible remembered world. The composition is structured in four movements:
Moldova National Chamber Orchestra
Conductor: Oleg Palymski
