Piano,Voice Duet Piano,Voice - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.844597 Composed by Phil Beaman. 20th Century,Sacred. 7 pages. Phil Beaman #4270291. Published by Phil Beaman (A0.844597). The text for this accompanied Soprano and Alto duet is taken from Psalm 3 about how the Lord will deliver you from your enemies. The emotions of the text shape the music, as in an Art Song. The vocal parts often stagger their entries and overlap in canonic and fugal ways. There are gentle dissonances between the vocal parts and the piano. Overall, the style is Early 20th Century, reminiscent of the French composers known as Les Six (Poulenc, Milhaud, Honneger, Durey, Tailleferre, and Auric.) Marked expressive and fervent this piece is both beautiful and powerful, and equally qualified for either the church or the concert stage. 7 pages Il Tramonto ... Shelley-Ascoli (2022) full score

Published by Thomas Oboe Lee (A0.898494). Full score. I am a frequent visitor to the Protestant Cemetery in Testaccio, Rome. Shelley, Keats and Corso are buried there among other expatriates who adopted the city of Rome as their own. I am a not a huge fan of the music by Ottorino Respighi, whose work, like the Pines of Rome, reminds too much of Hollywood music scores. But I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered on YouTube a chamber work he wrote for mezzo-soprano and string quartet called “Il Tramonto.†The vocal and string writing are exquisite, quite beautiful and heart-felt. When I looked at the source of the text I saw that it was an Italian translation by Roberto Ascoli of a poem by Percy Bysshe Shelley. That immediately inspired me to do my own musical setting of this poem. Two reasons. One, it has a Rome connection. Two, two of my favorite subjects in music are all there in one poem: love and death. Unfortunately I did not find the original English version to be sufficiently “musical.†The archaic language was a bit leaden and convoluted. On the other hand, the Italian translation is so much more lyrical and transcendental. I divided the poem into five parts. At the end I decided to tag on a text I have wanted to set for quite some time: Media Vita. I think the subject of this Latin text fits beautifully as a coda or “apotheosis†to Il Tramonto. I. Moderato … Già v’ebbe un uomo II. Andante … Ora è sommerso il sole III. Adagio … Il given e la dama giacquer tra il sonno IV. Moderato … Neri gli occhi ma non fulgidi più V. Adagio … Ho tal retaggio che la terra non dà VI. Apotheosis: Largo … Media Vita Enjoy!!!
