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.
