DAVID ARNER

piano and harpsichord

 

An Invocation of Hermes Twice Revealed

David Arner (piano, harpsichord, narration)

Namely, a cryptic improvisational score based on a chorale for the Earthling (implied but not revealed) for solo piano once and then for harpsichord  exploring yet also re-contextualizing in the manner of Hermetic mythos the synchronicities, spontaneities and evolutions inherent or otherwise informed by both the inevitabilities of the circumstances and the whim of the trickster.

(Or to put it differently, two performances of the same piece that won’t sound the same, separated by an intermission.)

Text adapted from the Homeric Hymn to Hermes translated by long-time collaborator Charles Stein.
