Featured in the interview is a performance of the final movement of a set of piano pieces I wrote for Derek in 2011, titled <a href=\"https:\/\/thomas-osborne.com\/music\/works\/the-ends-of-the-earth\/\">The Ends of the Earth<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;716551&#8243;]This movement, &#8220;Terra Nullius,&#8221; deals with the overthrow of the Hawaiian kingdom by juxtaposing two musical sources. The first is a fragment from a Schubert sketchbook (the entire set was written as a companion piece to Schubert&#8217;s <em>Impromptus<\/em>, Op. 142) while the second is from the Hawaiian song &#8220;Kaulana N\u0101 Pua,&#8221; which was written in protest of the overthrow. It&#8217;s an appropriately heavy musical sentiment that permeates the piece, and Derek takes it on courageously. Check out the video to learn more about Derek, Hawai\u02bbi&#8217;s history, and the movement itself.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_raw_html]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[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;890830&#8243;]Michigan State University&#8217;s public television station, WKAR, recently featured an interview and performance by pianist Derek Polischuk [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":83156,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-83149","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thomas-osborne.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83149","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thomas-osborne.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thomas-osborne.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thomas-osborne.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thomas-osborne.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=83149"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/thomas-osborne.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83149\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":83163,"href":"https:\/\/thomas-osborne.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83149\/revisions\/83163"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thomas-osborne.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/83156"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thomas-osborne.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=83149"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thomas-osborne.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=83149"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thomas-osborne.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=83149"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
