This piece was performed as part of a special concert presentation through the Nazareth University Composition program.

I am incredibly grateful for their performance and for the opportunity to work with musicians of such caliper. A big thank you also to Rita Veneziale and Dr. Octavio Vazquez for ensuring this piece was programmed on the concert.

This recording will hold a special place in my heart as the most camera angles I have ever used for a single piece. While it was a herculean effort to put this together; I hope the 10 different camera units capture the joy, intensity and exuberance that this piece brings.

These two pieces ran contagious to each other during the concert and are thus presented as such here: 00:07 - Introduction 02:22 - Requiem for the Forgotten 07:08 - When David Heard Due to the length of my program notes on these two pieces, RUclips's video description features do not condone such verbosity. Regardless, the program notes can be found following the link below. Thank you for your ...

Paul H. Gaston - Prelude in D-flat (World Premiere) - Live from Paul H. Gaston - Greatest Hits
Просмотров 887 месяцев назад
Opening the concert is a piece that has never been presented before. This piece was originally written in F in my Counterpoint class instructed by Dr. John Reef. D-flat is my favorite key signature so I adjusted the tonal center. This concert also features a great deal of music that hovers around the D-flat key center, so the shift was intentionally made with this concert in mind. The form is t...

Enoch Li closes his program with an explosive and intense piece. Originally written for a sinfonia setting now captured in an 8-hand piano composition, Dangerous Chasm brings listeners closer and closer to the brink as this 10-minute action-packed minimalist inspired performance gives a clean and harmonically sophisticated concert-closing piece to what was an exceptional senior concert. 00:00 -...

Lullaby captures the feelings often associated from its namesake. This piano and violin piece follows a semi-formal form structure that slowly builds and builds and ultimately returns back to the opening theme creating a compact and deeply impactful piece of instrumental repertoire. Here Enoch Li provides the following program note: “For this piece, Lullaby please don't fall asleep, or do. The ...

By the Ocean is a true masterclass in heartbreak. Enoch wrote the text and the music to this beautiful song that takes listeners on an emotional journey telling of a relationship that has faded away like footprints on the shore. This piece features a small ensemble creating a standard musical theatere sound with Max Ruscio as the soloist capturing all of its highs and lows of the text and treat...

The impactful words of Paul Laurence Dunbar set the tone for an absolutely heartbreaking jazz tune. The poignant text matched with the thoughtful harmonies set up a masterwork in songwriting and jazz composition. Enoch takes us on a journey that is emotionally-fueled every step of the way. Max Ruscio is the soloist ushering in a theatrically inspired performance that sticks with you long after ...

Grand Opening is the first movement in a suite of pieces that Enoch Li, Paul H. Gaston and Adam Ball wrote. These three composers collaborated on a 3-movement suite for piano, euphonium and saxophone in their opening semester studying music composition at Nazareth College. Here, their final piece was again a collaborative one paying homage to the original but capturing the spirit of another Unl...
Enoch Li - Sonata in F Minor - Live from Enoch Li - Senior Music Composition Concert
Просмотров 167 месяцев назад
The Sonata in F Minor is Enoch’s opening performance. This 3-movement sonata captures a variety of standard classical forms. The opening movement follows a theme that moves back and forth like that of a conversation. The second movement follows a repeating bass line that slowly creeps higher and higher making a slower and thought-provoking presentation. The third movement is a fast-paced and hi...
