Wistful Chant (e-Print)

NFMC choice 2004-2006, Peskanov's Wistful Chant was inspired by a form of monophonic liturgical music, known as Gregorian Chant. It has a distinctive musical flavor that derives from melodic lines that are primarily stepwise and skips of a third is common. Just as Gregorian Chant, this work displays complex internal structure that combines and repeats musical sub phrases. Peskanov has recorded this piece on his album "Spirits of the Wind."
