Donna MItchell - Blue Without You

  My personal review:

It is said that the color blue, in terms of its meaning, is one of the most versatile, since for many people it is associated with an inner sense of calm, relaxation, or peace, but in many cultures, it is linked to feelings of sadness, melancholy, loneliness, or the emptiness left by someone who departs forever.

There are various theories that attempt to explain why this is true, such as the fact that the blue sky seems sadder on cloudy days, or the feeling evoked by the dark blue of the ocean depths.

However, one of the most widely accepted and widespread theories states that, according to an ancient legend, when a captain died on a ship at sea, his body was thrown into the ocean, and as a sign of mourning, all the sails were dyed blue. Somehow, this association with the color blue has persisted to the present day, and that is why many people perceive it in this way. Donna Mitchell presents this piece, titled "Blue Without You," to "celebrate" the recent Valentine's Day without a relative with whom she had the opportunity to attend school and share many hours of her childhood.

The blues-style piece has a structure that suggests a thematic improvisation and, with its accompanied melody texture, creates a melancholic and sad atmosphere, as mentioned above.
