In this

episode we play the Sicilienne by the French composer Gabriel Faure. I

recently went on a trip to Quebec and had a chance to eat some great

French meals. As a result, I did a bit of French cooking myself. I

noticed that the common theme in this type of cooking is how

ingredients tend to fit well together. A sauce will fit everything else

that is on the plate. Flavors and textures go in and out of each other

to create a greater whole. This piece is similar in that its melodies

fade in and out of each other. Harmonies, colors and textures blend

well together and undergo subtle changes. I hope you can sense that in

the music.For feedback you can e-mail [email protected] or visit the website cellojourney.com
