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
