Amor Dei for piano & strings by Boaz Avni

Contemporary music is very different. Many various composition styles compile a multifaceted many-colored mosaic of contemporary music. It seems to me that contemporary classical music moves generally to the side of a complication, of a merging of many styles. This is understandable. Composers are searching new ways for self-expression. A modern reality is maybe too complicated and too multilayer to fit in the classical expressiveness means. Globalization have made possible for everyone to be in the movement of global situation. A huge information flow attacks our minds every day and it is very difficult to concentrate on the main point. This is why sometimes it is necessary to find a place for relaxation and thoughts about what to do the next and were actually are we going.
This big intro was made to tell to you about one of the new for me works written by contemporary composer Boaz Avni. This work names Amor Dei. The name goes perhaps from the one of ideas of Spinoza’s philosophy – Amor dei intellectualis. There are three pieces in this cycle written in minimalistic manner. All pieces are based on a leitmotivs, themes, which repeat and migrate between piano and strings. The tempo of the first two pieces is quite slow – adagio and adagio quasy rubato. The third piece is in the tempo allegro non troppo. The music of the cycle Amor dei leaves the feeling of the time disappearing and the eternity.
