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 - Song for Sakura

Autor el día

  My personal review:

  Song for Sakura (Cherry Blossom) is a piece in three sections, the second rhythmic, while the other two are melodic.
In the case of the melodic sections, they consist of a melody accompanied first by chords (and empty intervals of perfect fifths) and then by arpeggiated notes. The melody is built on a pentacle scale, which gives it the oriental atmosphere suggested by the title.
The second section, more rhythmic in character, as noted above, consists of a melody doubled in perfect fourth intervals, in staccatti, on a double pentacle scale.
The left hand plays pedal notes.
The third section, a restatement of the first, leads to a short coda that concludes the piece.
