Moving Classics’ tribute to the composers of the 20th century. the Greek-Ukrainian composer Ivan Karabyts (Karabits). Prelude № 10 (Andante, rubato e recitando cis-moll) from the cycle of 24 piano preludes in different styles fantastically conveys the spirit of the Middle Ages. From the first moments the listener seems to be drawn to the magic of the Gregorian chant. Time seems to stop. Time and space become one of the most important properties of this music. We can compare this prelude with the music of Claude Debussy and his “Sunken Cathedral”. The composer uses some stylistic devices to produce the archaic medieval character like a certain choice of harmonies, no tonal certainty, some metro- rhythmic features of of songs of the Middle Ages. The beauty of the Gregorian chant is eternal.
