Ghost - for 2 Violin, Viola, Cello, Double Bass and Piano #945046

This composition was inspired by the urgent reality of melting glaciers. I chose to call it Ghost
because I like to believe that as these white giants die, they do not entirely disappear. Their essence
lingers. And if we are willing to pause and to truly listen, we might hear the echo of their slow
retreat. In their ghostly presence lies a call, not just to witness but to awaken.
The music emphasizes a persistent sense of instability, conveyed primarily through ever-shifting
timbral and rhythmic choices. These musical elements are meant to evoke the very nature of
glaciers: fragile entities in constant transformation, which we are irreversibly losing.
