Hudson Gimenez - Romance Nº 1

  My review:       Romance Nº 1   is a piece in three sections, with an accompanied melody texture and a tranquil tempo, creating an atmosphere of calm and reflection. The thematic unity and the constant accompaniment of arpeggios give the piece a sense of cohesion, with a second development section and a third recapitulation section. In fact, it is constructed from a harmonic progression (accompaniment) upon which small variations on the main theme melody are layered.       Gimenez's social links:           Facebook      YouTube      SoundCloud     Enjoy  "Romance Nº 1" ,  performed by Carlos Marín Trigo:

Ronald Karle - Meditation Six

    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.
