Composed by Felicity Mazur-Park. 21st Century,Baroque,Classical,Jazz,Renaissance. 27 pages. Felicity Mazur-Park #926155. Published by Felicity Mazur-Park (A0.1340568).This fantasia is a duet for piano/harpsichord and organ. One of the two players alternating between harpsichord and piano. The duet is based on Io pur respiro, a madrigal by Gesualdo. As with many of his other madrigals, it makes reference to his wife’s affair and Gesualdo’s subsequent murder of her and her lover. The duet explores various genres, including Gesualdo’s mannerist style, a Rococo keyboard style, jazz, and traditional chorale forms, reminiscent of those of J.S. Bach. This work started as an experiment in adapting Gesualdo’s music to organ but progressed to become an exploration into merging genres. It can be played as an organ and piano only duet or as a duet for organ and piano, doubling harpsichord.
