PIOTR STECZEK, MATEUSZ KOŁAKOWSKI – 2010: Chopin Odyssey
Part of the ORCHESTRAL MUSIC SERIES
2010: Chopin Odyssey was written specially for the AUKSO Chamber Orchestra of the City of Tychy and Mateusz Kołakowski, a prominent pianist, jazz trio leader and soloist. It was composed by Mateusz Kołakowski and Piotr Steczek, who also arranged the orchestra parts. The priority of the project is to develop novel pieces based on themes, phrases and concepts found in Chopin’s original scores.
References to classical ideas emerge in surprising, innovative ways where harmony, rhythm and form take on a new dimension. Creative, pioneering interpretations of Chopin’s music are derived from modern jazz with its harmony and deployment of orchestra as rhythm section. However, the arrangement also relies on classical collaboration between a jazz trio and a string orchestra.
The complete range of timbres and articulations available in this configuration is enriched by composed interactions between the two ensembles. Additional contributions come with improvisations on an acoustic violin and a six-string electric violin as well as the spatial sound of oriental flutes (duduk, shakuhachi, ney).
The standard jazz trio finds a strong partner in the orchestra, which can play the groove, perform a solo, and most of all mix classical, romantic, modern and jazz sounds, so closely intertwined in today’s world.
All pieces make up a self-contained, synonymous whole sparkled with references to program music.
