performed by the author

IRAM movies

The Nine Nocturnes for Piano are a part of the cycle Nocturnes (Vecherinki), inspired by Macedonian folk songs. The compositional technique used by Dimitrije Buzarovski is mainly based on Chopin/Liszt pianistic tradition. In addition, in accordance with his multi-stylistic and multi-genre approach, he applies the techniques of impressionism, neoclassicism, jazz etc. Although this composition develops a plot from the first to the last nocturne, each movement has its own story and can be performed individually.

The engagement of Donka/
Set oh, you bright sun Free-spirited Donka got engaged. Her friends and neighbors came to congratulate her. Do not congratulate me, but ask my mother why she promissed me to someone so far away.
Set oh, you bright sun, set and fade away ! And you moon, go away and sink into the water! Mourn, you forest, together with me - you, for your leaves, and me for my youth. You will get your leaves back, but my youth will never return.
