Omni Foundation Publishes New Videos Featuring Music by Stephen Goss

The Omni Foundation for the Performing Arts has premiered new videos of two pieces from Stephen Goss’s Intermezzi, a set of six compositions commissioned and recorded by Alexander-Sergei Ramírez and Sheila Arnold. These videos, filmed in Düsseldorf, Germany, highlight a beautiful combination of historic-style instruments in modern repertoire.

‘Intermezzi’ is a set of six pieces based on the Lieder of Franz Schubert. Moto Perpetuo, Lament, and Ballad take fragments of material from specific Schubert lieder - Gretchen am Spinnrade, Der Doppelgänger, Erlkönig - and develop them in unexpected ways. In contrast, Nocturne, Bagatelle, and Serenade evoke the atmosphere of a selection of Schubert’s night songs, serenades, and songs about rivers and water.
