Each song serves as a poignant reflection, inviting listeners to pause, breathe, and contemplate the connections between love, solitude, and nature.<\/p>\n<p>Shugaev crafted the score with Dilyara\u2019s timbre and vocal technique in mind; this work was planned as a few songs but evolved into a small cycle. Composed on the original Japanese text in a Russian poetic translation, it forms a bridge between cultures and centuries.<\/p>\n<p>With haiku-like concision, it captures dense, metaphoric meanings, reflecting the circle of life and nature. Beginning with a thoughtful, prophetic <strong>Testament<\/strong> set apart as a prologue, it journeys through autumn, winter, spring, and culminates in summer \u2014 the celebration of life and love. The five-tone initial chord of the <em>Testament<\/em> sets a tonal base for the entire cycle.<\/p>\n<p>The number five, a symbol of luck and art central to haiku\u2019s syllables and rhymes, shapes the structure: <strong>five notes, five songs, and 5\/8 or 5\/4 time signatures.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Shugaev drew inspiration from <strong>French Impressionism<\/strong>, <strong>Japanese folk music<\/strong>, and a citation of <strong>Copland\u2019s music<\/strong>, symbolizing simplicity and minimalism.<\/p>\n<p>All three musicians are members of the ensemble <strong>Pelle d\u2019Oca<\/strong>, a unique platform that performs both chamber music and large-scale orchestral works. The ensemble strives to explore new horizons, seeking innovative paths for artistic expression and collaborating with contemporary composers.<\/p>\n<p>This release marks the <strong>debut digital album<\/strong> of the chamber group <strong>Pelle d\u2019Oca<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Album available for streaming and download only!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vdegallo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/DI-1758-Booklet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VEL DI-1758 Booklet.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Extraits \/ Excerpts<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n[playlist images=\"false\" ids=\"104445,104442,104448,104451,104436\"]\n","protected":false},"featured_media":104455,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[5335,5406,5327,5339,5353,5400],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-104460","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","vde_composers-akemi-tachibana-en","vde_composers-hoshi-saigyo-en","vde_composers-shugaev-nikolay-en","vde_composers-taigu-ryokan-en","vde_composers-tsurayuki-ki-no-en","vde_interprets-dolya-timofey-en","vde_interprets-kalimullina-dilyara-en","vde_interprets-shugaev-nikolay_en","product_cat-new-releases","product_cat-cascavelle","product_cat-duets","product_cat-piano_en","product_cat-recital_en","product_cat-digital-only-en","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","product-type-simple"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vdegallo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/104460","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vdegallo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vdegallo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vdegallo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=104460"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vdegallo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/104455"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vdegallo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=104460"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vdegallo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=104460"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vdegallo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=104460"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vdegallo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=104460"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
