Snowgums in Silver Moonlight / Margaret Brandman.
Library shelf no. 787.4/BRA 9 [Available for loan]
Work Overview
Snowgums in Silver Moonlight is an extended and enhanced
arrangement of 'Snowgums in the Moonlight', included in Margaret
Brandman's album of solo piano pieces titled 'Twelve Timely
Pieces'.
The key chosen for this rather ethereal work is G minor. The time
signature is 7 quarter notes per bar. At times the theme is
derived from the subtle Aeolian mode while at other more dramatic
moments the melody and harmonies include the raised seventh from
the harmonic form of the scale. The introductory measure is
peppered with jazz-influenced chromatic harmonies leading to the
arpeggiated piano accompaniment figure, establishing the dusky
mood. The flowing lines and wide range allow for expressive
cellistic performance. The music is quite fluid with the melody
and accompanying lines shared equally between the instruments.
The introductory material recurs at the end of each section which
helps to define the form and unify the work.
