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 Six

Autor el día

    My review: 

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

    The form of this piece is symmetrical in the way the theme is repeated. While still an accompanied melody, it first appears alone, then doubled (double notes), then tripled (chords), then doubled (double notes) and finally, alone. Always with the same accompaniment in the left hand.

    However, what is most striking is the way Karle treats the time signature. Although it is written in 3/4 time, it combines that time signature with the rhythmic feel of 6/8 or even 3/8.

    It should be noted that Karle claims that his Meditations are pieces to "play at home" in order to relax and meditate.
