Donna Mitchell - Consolation No. 2

  My personal review:      We had already discussed what a Consolation is in music in a previous article , as well as the possible sources of inspiration for Franz Liszt, the first composer to use the name Consolation for one of his pieces.      Donna Mitchell's Consolation No. 2 creates a calm, poetic, meditative atmosphere.      It is a piece in two sections, each of which is divided into three subsections, plus an introduction and a coda; its slow and leisurely tempo, as well as the constant accompaniment of arpeggios, are the main characteristic of this piece.      It is worth noting that the second section, although it feels like a restatement, has certain variations (especially in the second subsection), which create some interest for the listener, which is further enlivened by the surprising coda.      Mitchell's social links:      YouTube (Channel 1)      YouTube (Chann...

Fredrik Ingå - Flying Home

     My review:

    "Flying Home" is a fresh and upbeat piece of music, with a tripartite structure and accompanied melody texture.

    It begins with a small introduction, by the left hand, which plays the accompaniment consisting of a series of unfolded chords, which will be maintained throughout the entire work.

    The main theme then appears, a melody that is played reinforced at the octave, with a first syncopated motif, which gives the work spontaneity, euphoria and, as I say, freshness.

    Said melody will be repeated at a lower octave before moving on to the second section, where, despite maintaining the accompaniment, the melody, in this case, does not appear doubled, which makes us feel a certain calm and sweetness.

    After this section, he returns to the second part of the first, that is, to what, at the time, was the repetition to the lower eighth.

    Finally, as a coda, it repeats the main theme again, but in a neighboring key, which gives it a certain brilliant air.

    About the composer:

     Fredrik Ingå is a Swedish composer and music director, who has participated in various musical productions at Östgötateatern.
