I am still very keen to do this, but would like to play more close attention to Amarok, and to attempt the daunting challenge of writing an in depth analysis of the piece. I just wonder if anyone has any info on the piece, analytically as i saw there was an amarok analysis on the web but it keeps saying on the page that it was stolen??!! So any help anyone out there can give would be good. I am listening to the piece a lot these days and trying to map out a contour of the structure before i go an further. Cheers! -------------- www.ryanyardmusic.com Back to top

Somehow i need to find out if any notation exists of the piece or any jottings that would help me probe deeper into its construction. Maybe mike has stuff relating to the piece? If only I could contact him on this project..... -------------- www.ryanyardmusic.com Back to top

At the moment it's not online (some technical problems) but the author might put it back later. Amarok (and Wind Chimes) analysis -------------- --- Markus K. Back to top

But I found the texts extremelly silly and over-the-top; if I wasn't aware, I'd say it was a parody. It wouldn't be at all bad to see a more balanced, unbiased analysis. And Markus K's avatar is pure brilliance. -------------- Check out http://ferniecanto.com.br for all my music, including my latest albums: Don't Stay in the City, Making Amends and Builders of Worlds.
