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...

Donna Mitchell - Prelude in A Minor. Elegy.

Autor el día

 My personal review:

  Prelude in A Minor. Elegy:  is a slow and measured piece, with a strong emotional and dramatic charge.
    Divided into two sections, the second is a variation of the first, with the melody doubled to the octave, which gives it greater depth and expressiveness.
    The first section begins with an introductory theme (which will be repeated in the second), with a harmonic scheme of eight bars that will be repeated, with very slight variations, throughout the entire piece.
    The accompaniment is made up of percussive chords, which change by the joint movement of some of their notes. We place special emphasis on the chromatic movement of the bass throughout the eight bars, since, together with the syncopated melody of the main theme, they give the work its special drama.
