"RESOLUTION" No. 1 for Piano and Trumpet, from Fractals by Maria Fuller
This video was entirely produced by Maria, including capturing all photos and videos, as well as the musical audio and video recordings (excluding the orchestra video, and headshot photos).
"RESOLUTION" No. 1, from Fractals was written by Maria Fuller, and is a 'musical fractal' on the feeling of being resolute/having resolution. The musical fractal is the notes and their intervals: A-B-E. Her idea to write music as part of a series of fractals (instead of etudes, or studies, for example), stemmed from wanting to write a series of music that is highly motivic, and which can motivate certain feelings through that motive.
In this video, Maria is first seen playing the piano and the trumpet, which is the original instrumentation of the work (piano and trumpet). Later on in the video, the frame changes to a performance of her conducting the work, for string ensemble piano, and solo trumpet. Here, she conducts, as the 2019 David Effron Conducting Fellow, the Chautauqua Institute's Summer Music Festival Orchestra, from the piano. The trumpeter in that part of the video is Aaron Dubois.
The farmland video are of her farm, in Saskatchewan.
The lake video was taken North of La Ronge, in Saskatchewan.
