‘Hajnali’ by Dániel Matei & Madeline Hocking (2024)
Inspired by the Romanian wedding dance known as ‘invertita’, the Hungarian folk song ‘A Hajnali csillag ragyog’, and many other influences, this piece is an expanded version of the duo composed by Dániel Matei and Madeline Hocking. It was reconstructed for trio by Dániel Matei specially for the Dwight and Ursula Mamlok Award Concert at the Tenri Cultural Institute.
See if you can catch the quotes from ‘Tzigane’ by Maurice Ravel, ‘From my Garden’ by Ursula Mamlok, and ‘Third Construction’ by John Cage!
