Homage
for Wind Octet
วิษณกมล ชัยวานิชศิริ
Viskamol Chaiwanichsiri
During my studies in both composition and conducting, I encountered many works that inspired me
and shaped my musical writing, especially for winds. Homage is a short four-movement piece that nods to
“neo-classicism” while paying tribute to the composers and conductors from whom I have drawn inspiration.
I. Intrada — A fanfare-like opening with cascading scales and brief quotations from a prelude featuring
obscure tonality.
II. Scherzo — A lively movement infused with Thai folk-inspired rhythms in a mixed meter.
III. Nachtmusik — A slow, lyrical movement led by the horn, evoking the calm of a night breeze.
IV. Toccata — A vigorous nale, driven by rhythmic energy and virtuosic interplay across the ensemble,
with a homage to Thai boxing music.
I dedicate this piece to the conducting professors who inspired me and nurtured my love for the wind
medium.
Duration: approximately 8 minutes
