Leifmotif from Refuge by Aman Mahajan
VII. Leifmotif
theme for a falling leaf
composed in Boston, Delhi, Bangalore, 2005–18
A contemplative piece based on the idea that the movements we see in the external world also occur within, though sensed with different faculties. And as the outer and inner worlds mirror each other, each one of us is an embodiment of nature, not separate from it in any way.
Set primarily to a meter of 7, this piece introduces Raag Yaman to multi-tonic systems, settling into a brief modal melody once in a while.
Indian pianist-composer Aman Mahajan plays improvised music as a medium of exploration, expression and exchange.
