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 - Cuaderno Musical - VI. Coral

Autor el día

  My review:

    Coral is the sixth piece of the 20 pieces that make up the Musical Notebook by the composer Carlos Alberto Ocando Martínez.

In this case, the composer offers us a piece with a three-section structure and a typical texture of a choir song, honoring the name of the work.

Melodies in which movements by joint degrees abound (with their exceptions, of course), as well as simple rhythms and a slow movement are the essential components of this choral, with a result of contemporary sounds.

    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.
