Donna Mitchell - Consolation No. 2

Autor el día
  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...

Nick Norton - Four Calm Interludes - I. Four One

Autor el día

My Review: 

Four One is the first of the Four Calm Interludes composed by Nick Norton.

With a free structure, although divided into two sections, unified by the chords that are repeated in the bass, it has a slow movement and seeks to create resonance sound effects, which provoke a state of relaxation in whoever listens to it.

About the composer:

The composer states that, during the Covid-19 pandemic, he fell into a severe depression that led him to completely distance himself from music (not only did he stop composing it, but also listening to it). Until, one day, upon listening to the music of the Japanese composer Hiroshi Yoshimura, he began to be inspired to compose these Four Calm Preludes and reconnect with music.
