When life gives you lemons, make lemonade... Or in my case; make a fugue. • In an attempt to make the best out of the bizarre times we live in, my musical contribution to the worldwide pandemic comes in the form of a complex, 4-plus-voice fugue, based on the subject of the ...virus itself! • With some touches of artistic liberty, I interpreted COVID-19 as an acronym for the musical terms C° V-I D 1-9 (as explained at the beginning of the video) which when combined, shape a rather spicy fugue subject. • It was no surprise that the subject's 'unorthodox' nature made it quite challenging to integrate it in a tonal context;...a fact, however, that posed no obstacle to two-weeks worth of quarantine-induced free time, together with some Regerian/Mendessohnian inspiration. • Putting all my music degrees in practice (and some amateur-ish editing skills in Adobe After Effects), I created a 'viral' (pun intended, hopefully) fugue, which will take you on a journey across 7 tonalities, 12 subject entries and lots of juicy modulations. • 🛈 Legend: • Subject entries can be seen in red. • Subject inversions are marked in blue. • 🛈 Don't know what a Fugue is?

Concerts, rehearsals and lessons have all been postponed until further notice. • If you would like to support me and would like to see more projects like these, you can buy a copy of this fugue from my website using the following links: • ▶ Piano Version: https://www.nicholaspapadimitriou.com... • ▶ Organ Version: https://www.nicholaspapadimitriou.com... • ▶ String Quartet Version: https://www.nicholaspapadimitriou.com... • ▶ String Orchestra Version: https://www.nicholaspapadimitriou.com... • ▶ Stay tuned for future projects!
