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...

Ronald Karle - Meditation Two

 My review: 

Meditation Two is a piece with a slow character and an accompanied melody texture.

    After an introduction consisting of a small variation of the musical theme, each musical idea is repeated twice, the first time with the melody accompanied and the second time with the melody doubled by notes of the chord and the left-hand accompaniment that persists throughout the piece.

    This reminds us very much of the structure of an antiphon or a responsory, where the theme is sung by a soloist and responded to by a congregation.

    As a coda, this structure appears again with the main theme, although in a symmetrical way to how it had been done previously, that is, first the melody doubled by notes of the chord and then the melody alone with the accompaniment.
