Scene from Gaelic Faram (Jig in Kiev)

Scene from Gaelic Faram (Jig in Kiev) is a 6-minute, note-filled, virtuosic piece for two pianos. Inspired by British folksong, it includes adaptations of the Dargason jig and the reel Mary Mack, and starts with an attempt to capture some of the ornamented and decorated melody lines typical of Scottish bagpipes.

The full 16-minute piece Gaelic Faram (Jig in Kiev) for 2 pianos and 2 percussionists was composed for the Kiev Piano Duo (Oleksandra Zaytseva and Dmytro Tavanets) for the Kiev "Chamber Music Session" Festival 2012. This new arrangement of a 6-minute scene from it, just for 2 pianos, was made in 2016 for the Australian Piano Duo (Vicky Yang & Maggie Chen).
