SKU: A0.596599

Composed by Juan María Solare. 20th Century,Contemporary. Score and parts. 13 pages. Juan Maria Solare #6020971. Published by Juan Maria Solare (A0.596599).

Mercy is an obsessively expressive Adagio (so to say, an answer to Samuel Barber's Adagio) with a homophonic texture, like a four part chorale. Rhythmically, this piece offers no problems. While the part of the first violin requires more experienced players, all others are relatively easy to play. Most groups would be able to master this piece after only a couple of rehearsals.

 

Some would say that mercy is a virtue, others that it is a weakness. Do not seek in this piece a one-to-one musical transcription of merciful feelings, but rather concentrate on the smoothness and tender sound quality associated with it. Rather than "pity", mercy is about empathy, togetherness and support - this attitude can also show while performing music.

 

Approximate duration: 3 minutes 15 seconds.

Mercy was composed in 2013 and is dedicated to the flutist Cecilia Piehl Pierce.
