Esmeralda Concerto: Movement 1, Act 1, a Royal Intrigue Now Available for Download
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., July 17 /PRNewswire/ -- "Esmeralda" -- a piano concerto
by Gavin McMillan Fulmer ofBirmingham, Alabama -- has recently been described
as, "Chopin meets Danny Elfman," as stated by Dr. Don Sanders (musicologist
and professor) at Samford University. The production studio, Sound Raven
Studios, has spent the last seven years working on Esmeralda's first movement.
Because of its programmatic nature, the concerto is divided structurally into
three Acts. The first act musically portrays Vladamyr (an exiled Romanian
Count) who seeks out Esmeralda, a Spanish princess of untold beauty. After
rejection, Act 2 focuses on the great personal conflict within Vladamyr's
character, as he tries to come to terms with Esmeralda's lack of interest.
Act 3 depicts Esmeralda's eventual acceptance of Vladamyr's intrigue.
However, a great war inRomania causes Vladamyr to return just as the two
unite.
The first movement of "Esmeralda" is slated to be entered into a
Concerto/Aria competition by November 2008 at Samford University. Though a
performer has not been formally "cast" to perform this movement, it will most
likely be one of Samford's very talented piano performance majors. If the
concerto is one of the winners, it will be performed some time in March/April
of 2009.
