Ambrosiana (Solo Piano) by Kati Agócs published on 2019-04-09T17:43:05Z Han Chen, piano Recorded live at 1 Rivington Street, New York, 29 March 2019 Ambrosiana creates a mythical world of ambrosial sonorities. This short work for solo piano is a free interpolation (with variations) on an original melody. In ancient Greek times, ambrosia was a “delightful liquid” which rendered ageless and immortal anyone who consumed it. With a distinctly vocal quality, Ambrosiana treats the original melody in a free, rhapsodic way, creating sonorities that are rich and luscious and amplifying them into increasingly expansive textures, both intimate and grand. Ambrosiana was commissioned by the Sioux City Symphony Orchestra as a competition piece for the finalists to perform in the 2017 Iowa Piano Competition, and is approximately 6 minutes in duration.
