A lamenting song, without words, in homage to a Troubadour poetic form
known as a planh (Latin: planctus).
Once again, nothing special going on here, just an original melody and
harmonization (hopefully enjoyable), something to keep me busy.
Downloads enabled, comments welcome.
Very nice ... but a few quick observations:
- cantus is lost (muddied) during harmonization(s)
- pedal point in second harmonization didn't always "work", although
that is my objective perspective
- coda was contemplative and enjoyable.
Thanks for the comments, David, they are appreciated. I agree with your
first point, the melody is obscured too much by the harmony, I'll
balance it out better and post an improved version asap. OTOH, I like
the pedal as it is, at least I haven't got tired of it yet. :)
I thoroughly enjoyed the harmonizations: wonderful fusion of period
and modern styles.
I work on my harmony chops constantly. I was born and raised on rock &
roll, never considered any complex harmony until I started listening to
jazz and classical music. My ears have improved over time, but I'm still
working on my aural recognition/prediction skills.
thanks for sharing.
My pleasure, many thanks for the critique.
Best,
dp
