Composed by Donald Ashwander. Ragtime. Score. 6 pages. The Donald Ashwander Estate #963098. Published by The Donald Ashwander Estate (A0.1378477).Donald Ashwander's "Evanescence" is a piano ragtime composition that seamlessly weaves together traditional ragtime elements with more contemporary harmonies. One of Ashwander's notable strengths lies in his ability to create melodies that resonate with emotional depth. "Evanescence" is a testament to this gift, featuring lyrical passages that soar and sing, evoking a sense of longing and introspection.
The third strain of "Evanescence" introduces a touch of rubato, a subtle and expressive use of tempo fluctuations. This stylistic choice adds a layer of grace and sophistication to the composition, inviting the performer to infuse the music with a sense of freedom and spontaneity. The judicious application of rubato in this section enhances the overall charm of the piece, creating a dynamic contrast within the ragtime framework.
In exploring the melodies of "Evanescence," one cannot help but be transported to the era of 1930s Tin Pan Alley. The piece features melodies that evoke the spirit of this bygone time, adorned with lush phrasing and a melodic sensibility reminiscent of classic American songwriting. Ashwander pays homage to this golden age, weaving a musical narrative that feels both timeless and contemporary.
