Exodus
of Kobol, for Piano was composed in 2011
The Inspiration
Being a long time fan of the Battle
Star Galactica science fiction series, inspired "Exodus of
Kobol". According to Colonial scriptures Kobol was the
birthplace and original home of humanity where humans lived with
their gods, the Lords of Kobol. Due to over population, waste,
natural disasters and an undetermined conflict, humans fled the
planet and founded the twelve colonies. According to legend there was
a thirteenth colony called Earth. All this ultimately an attempt at
new beginnings.
The Music
The piece is essentially in ABA
format. The opening melody, haunting in nature, is contrasted by a
driving left hand accompaniment which leads into a melancholy B
section of picturesque chords; a variation on a portion of the
opening melody. The A section then returns dramatically in an
unexpected harmonic change followed by an energetic but somewhat
unearthly ending. Impressionism influences are obvious throughout the
piece.
