Solo de lune for (my) voice and piano


Recommended Posts

Hello

 

Here is another piece of the cycle "a la lune" according to Jules Laforgue.
I didn't count. I must be at 4 or 5 on the same theme.
Here is a kind of little song that looks like a waltz.
Sweet bitter, of course, since it is lost love...
Translation in the video in subtitles.
Thank you for your criticism!

I like this so much!  His poetry is so evocative of a time and place, while simultaneously the speaker could be someone you pass on the street today.  The rocking rhythm of your piano accompaniment feels appropriate to an evening spent lying on the carriage roof, soul twirling along with the smoke.  Your harmonies around 1:10 work very well to inject a little melancholy and mystery to "pourquoir me comprenez-vous pas?"  You do an excellent job of turning your musical language to follow the narrator's emotional journey, while still producing a cohesive piece.  Bravo!
