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...

Vitalij Neugasimov - Ballad for Lucinda

Autor el día

  My personal review:

  Ballad for Lucinda is a piece in three sections, at a moderate tempo, creating a gentle and calm atmosphere.
    The first and third sections are similar, with a sparse melody and accompaniment consisting primarily of flat chords and harmonic fifth intervals.
    The second section, although a variation on the first, is contrasting in that the melody is more ornate and the accompaniment consists of triad-like arpeggios.
    The use of modal scales (E Dorian, E Phrygian, and E Aeolian) gives the music a medieval, exotic atmosphere, which adds interest.
