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...

Sandra Zylstra - Pachelbel's Noel

Autor el día

    My review:

    Pachelbel's Noel is a Christmas song arranged by American composer and piano teacher Sandra Zylstra.

    The piece intersperses fragments of the well-known Canon by Johann Pachelbel and the famous traditional English carol The First Noel (also known as The First Noël or The First Nowel), which could have been composed in the 17th or 18th century, although the author is unknown.

    In this arrangement for solo piano by Zylstra, both melodies follow one another continuously, resulting in a deeply religious work, of a calm and slow nature, which invites us to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas.
