Description
Night Pieces - Nocturnes - have inspired beauty, romanticism, and deep expression in many composers. The writing of 24 NOCTURNES was an exciting 7-year journey for Jackson Berkey, culminating in September 2014 with his NOCTURNE in C minor. Following a harmonic path similar to Bach, Chopin, and Shostakovich, Berkey traverses the "Circle of Fifths," alternating between 12 major and relative minor keys, with developments often leading him into modes. From an explosion of fireworks to the last smoldering ember, there is a Nocturne for every experience. Many of Berkey's Nocturnes also emulate existing keyboard works from some of his favorite composers of the last four centuries. Whether it be elegant introspection or soaring expressionism, the range of compositional temperament in 24 NOCTURNES is an obvious pianistic challenge offering great rewards in technique, color, energy, and piano resonance in performance. Pre-written program notes for each of the 24 NOCTURNES are included in the collection.
