About this arrangement

Piano,Vocal,Voice - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.846529 Composed by Maria Thompson Corley. Concert,Contemporary. Score. 9 pages. Maria Thompson Corley #5803441. Published by Maria Thompson Corley (A0.846529). The title alludes to the classic Joni Mitchell song, however, this is a piece of classical music. The poem refers to the burning of Notre Dame, then the inevitable physical decline inherent in aging, then the unexpected crumbling of our democratic institutions. The original melodic material echoes the fragments taken from the two masters of the Notre Dame school of organum, however, the dissonant, challenging piano accompaniment deconstructs them. The middle section is wistful and less dissonant, followed by a return to the earlier musical material. The piece ends with the quote from Perotin with which it begins, the vowel "O," however, at the end it is a moan of regret. Words and music by Maria Thompson Corley, incorporating Leonin's Haec Dies and Perotin's Beata Viscera.
