Lamentation Chromatique

By Daisy on May 3, 2026 6:26 pm

The descending chromatic scale with underlying rhythmic, hymn-like block chords cast a gentle, peaceful yet tragic feeling.  There is very little change in the dynamics of this piece, however lots of variation in the speed of nearly every measure-- so you can't dance to it.  I did this unintentionally, but it does seem to mimic human conversation and expression.  Sometimes when we talk, we speed up, then when we summarize we slow down to a conclusion with a heavy sigh.
