Reflection Set

Description

Mirror Reflection is in ABA form and the hand patterns mirror each other. The hands move in opposite directions and play on black keys verses white keys. The intense B section is crashing the mirror, making room for a healthy image. Consonant harmonies of the return A section depict peace that passes all understanding and a renewed state of mind.

Muddy Waters is in rondo form and depicts the unsettled time of recovery. The nagging A section returns to remind us that healing is a long process.

Serenade Sentimental is in ABA form and is the musical expression of my healing. All of the melodic content for this movement is derived from the scale degree equivalents of each of my family members’ telephone numbers.
