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...

Carlos Alberto Ocando Martínez - Canción

Autor el día

   My review:

    Canción (Song) is the fourth of the 20 pieces that make up Carlos Ocando's Musical Notebook, which are intended for pedagogical purposes.

    Canción is characterized by being made up of a slow, although very expressive melody, soberly accompanied, but which creates an intimate and calm atmosphere, achieved from the "mesto" (sad) character, as well as the richness of variations of dynamics and agogic that appear throughout this miniature.

    Born in 1978, Carlos Alberto Ocando Martínez is a Venezuelan composer. He completed his musical studies at the José Ángel Lamas Conservatory.

    He has been awarded several times with international prizes for his compositions.
