Nikola Pekovic – T. Milosevic: To the Stars 1

Описание: To the Stars 1
For accordion and string orchestra

The title To the Stars (from the Latin ad astra) draws inspiration from Virgil’s Aeneid, a timeless symbol of the pursuit of lofty ideals. The composition alternates between two contrasting thematic elements: the “astral” slow motifs and the “motoric” fast passages, which metaphorically reflect the ebb and flow of life’s triumphs and tribulations. Through this duality, the music explores the philosophical tension between aspiration and struggle. This work was created at the initiative of Nikola Peković, to whom it is dedicated (2022).
