Billaudot Shamo Ihor - Tarasovi Doumy

Summary of this score

This score brings together 6 new piano pieces freely inspired by the poetry collection Kobzar by Taras Shevchenko (1814–1861), regarded as Ukraine’s most important writer and poet. Through this powerful literary source, the work evokes an imaginary world shaped by history, grandeur and wounds, echoing the narratives that have forged Ukrainian identity.

It reveals a work of profound maturity, distinguished by its harmonic richness, expressive tension and dramatic scope. The music unfolds in an intense language, often imbued with an epic spirit, without ever losing its delicacy of line or its ability to suggest inner emotion. Each piece seems to extend a poetic voice by transforming it into a pianistic gesture, with genuine musical density and a strong evocative power.

This score will particularly appeal to pianists drawn to character pieces, musical storytelling and contrasting atmospheres. It will naturally find its place in a recital programme, in the exploration of the piano repertoire or in a search for works where literature, history and musical expression come together with intensity.
