Ciaccona

Titel: "Ciaccona"

Written in Iceland, Ciaccona draws inspiration from Iceland’s fiery, ice-filled landscapes – evident particularly in its episode displaying flageolets – as well as from Iceland’s legendary hidden inhabitants, the Huldufólk (elves). As befits a chaconne, Ciaccona is built upon a repeated bass. After being distinctly present initially, however, the ostinato bass of Ciaccona passes into imperceptibility. It returns to offer a glimpse of itself, well disguised, in the extroverted, driven motoric central section, but becomes unambiguously present again only during the final two minutes of the work, which closes with a gentle, extended drift and a quiet echo of the central section. Ciaccona was commissioned in 2002 by the Baroque music violinist and pedagogue, Chiara Banchini. The piece was written for Baroque violin, but it can also be performed on a modern-day violin.
