Eyes Wider (by Thomas Bergersen) [for two pianos]

“Eyes Wider”, the 3rd movement from Thomas Bergersen's hybrid symphony "Seven" (2019). Composed by Thomas Bergersen.
Arranged for two pianos by ClintSU.

“Seven” is a seven-movement hybrid symphony composed by Thomas Bergersen, with mix of traditional orchestra and choir with electronic elements. “Seven” follows the life of a human being from birth to death and digs deep into the full range of human emotions, from happiness, wonder, sadness, tragedy, love and beauty. The entire symphony is centered around the recurrence of the number 7 as it plays important roles in religion, mathematics, history and culture. The seven movements are: I. Deliverance; II. Big Life; III. Eyes Wider; IV. You Were My Forever; V. The Stars Are You and Me; VI. Wither All Life and Love; VII. Return to Sender.

“Eyes Wider”, the 3rd movement of the symphony, is probably the opposite and extension of the 2nd movement “Big Life”. If we imagine “Big Life” expressing the beauty and happiness in the world, then “Eyes Wider” feels like the expression of the complexity of the world, full of tempts, dangers, hardness and challenges. “Eyes Wider” use electronic elements, mixing with orchestra and choral, along with complex musical form and mazy chords, to deliver the unknown and complexity of the world, and express tension, anxiety, distressed, contemplating, and fighting emotions.
