about

This work was inspired by a lullaby from the Middle East. It won top honors in the Counterpoint-Italy, an international competition based in New York.

Winning compositions were selected from a wide field of submissions from composers living in 4 continents. (See www.facebook.com/Ludwig.Tuman.Composer )

The music begins slowly, but is soon off and running. There are surprises in each of the tracks, especially the last one. The final variation, "Panorama," summarizes and brings to consummation all the previous variations with a rousing finale.

(Note: The tracks on this page are not 30-second samples, but the complete recording. CLICKING THE LARGE PLAY BUTTON ABOVE will play the tracks in order and without interruption, allowing you to hear the entire work without needing to download. Together, the four tracks make a single composition. The $4 price is for all tracks combined, as an album.)

********************************************************

Composed & Produced by Ludwig Tuman

The listening experience is richer and more satisfying with a headset or quality earbuds. If you can find a few minutes to relax, then close your eyes and let the music carry you away.

Instead of focusing on the lullaby, the Variations tell a story -- in purely musical terms -- of a child passing through the stages of life into maturity, a story that's naturally common to cultures around the world.

The pieces are composed in a variety of styles, including romantic, classical, some baroque, and a hint of modern.

Each of the 14 Variations has a suggestive name:
1. Chorus
2. Circle Dance
3. Winds
4. Foothills
5. Echoes
6. Weaving
7. Courage
8. Starlight
9. Birds
10. Desire
11. Harvest
12. Galloping
13. Hymn
14. Panorama

Numbers 13 and 14 are joined together without a pause.
