Marin Marais - Reimagined

In 2018 I commissioned composer Helgi Ingvarsson to create some new variations to add to a performance I was giving of the celebrated work ‘Les Folies D’Espagne’ by Marin Marais. Over the last couple of years we have continued adding to and developing these new variations. In this video I perform 3 of these at Háteigskirkja in Reykjavík, Iceland. The middle movement has since been expanded into a stand-alone work for flute and electronics and integrated into the Helgi’s song-cycle ‘Glacier’s Elegy’.
