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 - A Fall Farewell

Autor el día

 My personal review:

  A Far Farewell, by Donna Mitchell, is a special way to say goodbye to someone who had to leave in the fall.

To do so, the composer uses a lively piece in the key of C major, as if she wanted to remember the good times shared with that person.

The piece begins with an introduction consisting of a descending harmonic progression, from the tonic chord to the dominant of the dominant, before returning to the dominant and beginning the main theme on the tonic.

It's a binary piece, in two sections, the second of which feels like a recapitulation of the first.

Despite the key and the lively tempo, a nostalgic, but not sad, atmosphere pervades the piece.
