By Sean A. Moore. By Sean A. Moore. 21st Century,Classical,Contemporary. Score. 9 pages. Sean A Moore #979133. Published by Sean A Moore (A0.1397079).Sonata for Piano No. 6 "Meditation" is in two movements. The two movements are titled "River's Flow" and "Prayer".
The shorter first movement is both lyrical and motivic using some added tone harmony and the full expanse of the keyboard. The reference to the opening main idea played very softly at the end of the movement creates a sense of return to the movement's beginnings.
The gentle opening of the second movement begins with a chant-like melody played in the lower register of the instrument. The movement grows from this point drawing its musical material from the opening melody and building to the climactic section of the work. Three staves are used to notate this section of the movement with the full expanse of the keyboard again being explored. Like the first movement, the second movement ends softly. However, the second movement ends with every note in the D natural minor scale (or D Aeolian mode) sounding together, creating a darker ending and a contrast to the conclusion of the first movement.
Both movements feature expressive playing and mostly slow tempos and are intended to convey the “Meditation” part of the title by painting a picture of both introspection and transcendence.
