Happy End tutti, page 32 Music from the Heart is a cycle of eight happy songs that explore different facets of human love. Most love songs deal with pain, absence and bereavement. I chose to explore positive expressions of human love. Each poem is sung in its original language. I went a literal step further by alternating the songs with sequences of sounds of human heartbeats. As shown by their opus numbers, the first, fourth and fifth song already existed beforehand and were incorporated in this cycle. It is possible for one player to play the vibraphone and percussion parts (in which case, the single percussionist chooses which part he speaks in bar 743, 745, 749 and 753 of the finale). Music from the Heart was premiered on 15-VII-2012 in the Esplanade Recital Studio, Singapore.
