A few words from the composer:

“Dansiare is the Vulgare-Roman word for “dancing”; in this composition interpreted as a form of a religious rite. This composition is an evocation of archetypal, ritual-like dancing.

The rhythm of Dansiare is based on two contrasting gestures: one, aggressive continuous
movement, built with blocks of three and two 16th. Two, lyrical, slower movement in the divisive rhythm of triplets and quintuplets. This juxtaposition of these two gestures can be interpreted as yin-yang, male-female. A large overarching triplet symbolizes an opposition transcending, higher ordering.

Dansiare is the second piece in a planned collection of four clarinet compositions based on the idea of a, by Classical Greek music theory inspired, scale-Universum, symmetrically ordered around the central C of the instrument (sounding B-flat).”

“Dansiare” is for solo clarinet.

“Dansiare” is also available in printed edition from June Emerson Wind Music.
