Dagmar Feyen: The Tuesday Thing

My first attempt to use chords in thirds explores the qualities of the dimished and augmented triads. It is a free moving melody upon an ostinato-like lefthand chord sequence.

After the interval section, we move on to the chords. Before exploring chord functions and connections, we first look at the quality of each chord. The first species is a chord build with all seconds. So a second little Toccatina is the result.
Happy listening!

Last friday, the mother of two colleagues of mine passed away very suddenly. Therefor, I interrupt my Harmony Workbook Project this week, because I offered to compose a small choral work (three part woman chorus and organ) on a poem of her husband for the funeral service.
It is called "Op weg", this is Dutch for "On the Road"

Hello, To make the transition from the interval section to the chord section of Persischetti's work, I composed a little "Toccatina", using only dissonant intervals, within the chords or between chord notes and melodic material.Hope you like this one, as it is more pianistically and musically relevant than the two Inventions that I wrote before.

And to show that this time, I mean business, you get two pieces instead of one.
The first topic in the harmony book of Persichetti is a classification of intervals on a scale from sharp dissonant to open consonant. Therefor, I wrote two "Two Part Inventions" to explore these interval qualities. (actually, I wrote one already last week, but never got to uploading it ...).
Embedded in the PDF of the partition is a MP3-file of the computer rendering of the music, and there is also a short explanation of the process involved in composing the piece.
Happy listening (and commenting?)!    I almost forgot: in the PDF partitions, there is an empty square in the upper left corner. If you click in it, you here the music.
