MERVEILLEUX ! Grace à Valery Gergiev, j'ai découvert cette oeuvre prodigieuse, il n'y a pas de mots suffisants pour décrire mon émerveillement, lorsque je l'écoute toutes les cordes de mon ADN se mettent à vibrer et je ressens une véritable élévation. Depuis, je cherche vos autres oeuvres, j'aime beaucoup Heartfelt. J'espère trouver un DVD de votre opéra Dalia. MERCI à vous de créer de si belles oeuvres au taux vibratoire qui élève l'âme.

This is amazing. I have no idea how you seamlessly blend this (atonality?) into such a comprehensive beautiful sound. Sounds very theatrical in some parts.

[@RoxannaPanufnik]

Thank you so much, Patrick. I think it's because one fundamental element unites all these different musics - that's my own harmonic language. It is very theatrical and I can imagine a ballet to it (but it's probably a bit too short!).

[@patricknyman727]

@@RoxannaPanufnik Is there a specific scale or mode your harmonic language revolves around? Btw, I know this is kinda random or weird😅, but my grandma Sophie Panufnik told me about you and your father Andrej Panufnik a while back and I guess we’re related. My grandpa Christopher Panufnik was pretty close to Andrej a while back before he passed so that’s pretty interesting. And I guess composing runs in the family cause I like to compose myself! I’m just nowhere near your level haha, but I’d love to share some of my shorter compositions with you. I’m trying my best to add more sophistication, but so far it’s pretty basic harmonically.

Three Paths to Peace it is communing with the mystery of the Universe. Like a prayer, as soon as we have it left... But still hope and faith in man. Because there is always more good in people than bad. Bows and thanks, Dear Countrywoman, Roxana !

Pięknie i serdecznie dziękuję Pani za uprzejme zainteresowanie się moim skromnym wpisem. Pozostaję w podziwie. A załączone ,,serduszko,, zachowuję sobie na wieczystą pamiątkę !
Thank You very much, Madam, for kindly taking an interest in my humble post. I remain in admiration. And I will keep the attached ‘heart’ as a lasting memento !

How sadly paradoxical seeing this in 2024, as Gergiev still refuses to have a chat about peace with his pal...

Happy birthday madam. ❤️from India

[@teekay698]

How did i not know about you until now? This left me in tears..

[@RoxannaPanufnik]

Aw, thank you!

Someone interested in helping me to organize an international female composers festival?

[@RoxannaPanufnik]

Thank you, Sergio - a festival with is 50/50 male and female composers would send a stronger message, I think!
