    Yiruma's "River Flows In You"

    "One Summer's Day" (from Spirited Away): Lush Lounge

    Joe Hisaishi is known for his scores to Studio Ghibli films, like this spacious theme from Spirited Away. It features quartal harmonies with a slightly eerie vibe to start with, but settles after a while into a perfect lounge piece. There are a few different official versions with Hisiashi himself, and in this video we see where they differ. With pianist Henrik Kilhamn. Video: https://youtu.be/_tRSzrQL-xU

    Dawn from Pride & Prejudice

    Dario Marionelli composed the score to the 2005 film Pride & Prejudice, and the opening track Dawn is a nice piano piece in its own right that captures the air of classy salons. With pianist Henrik Kilhamn. Video: https://youtu.be/AsgXmgnpcGI

    Debussy's "Fairies are Exquisit Dancers"

    We look closely at the details of this colorful creation and find typical Debussy devices everywhere: pentatonic and whole-tone vibes, extended dominants, sharp contrasts, and even some polytonality! VIdeo: https://youtu.be/jEfo70SY4BM

  7. Grieg Ephemeral "Elfin Dance" Op. 12 no. 4

    2025-03-07

    Grieg Ephemeral "Elfin Dance" Op. 12 no. 4

    Another gem from Grieg's Lyric pieces Op. 12, known as either "Elfin dance" or "Fairy dance". The Scandinavian elves are actually more like fairies or sprites than fantasy elves, and this music captures their short but energetic dance show succinctly! Video: https://youtu.be/6rEWZVMIC3k

    The High-Flying "Feather Theme" from Forrest Gump

    The opening music of the film Forrest Gump (1994) is a lovely piano tune in almost total syncopation and with graceful lightness. In this video we look closer at the musical material. With pianist Henrik Kilhamn. Video: https://youtu.be/NFtNL85r0Fc
