Nous voyons (after Arcadelt-Liszt) (2010) for solo piano was written for Shiau-uen Ding and the Vox Novus “Liszt Bicentennial Bash.”

This work is based upon one of Franz Liszt’s simplest piano compositions, Chanson d’Arcadelt (1862), a reworking of an Ave Maria by the Renaissance composer Jacques Arcadelt (c. 1507–68). In this brief new transformation, fragments of the Arcadelt and Liszt emerge through tempestuous, pianistic textures.
