Score

Prelude IV : for solo piano / Aristea Mellos.

Library shelf no. 786.2/MEL 4 [Available for loan]

Work Overview

Prelude IV is reflective and somber in nature. The prelude comprises four lyrical phrases that sound four times. With each repetition, the chorale voicing increases in density. A bell-like D tolls above the chorale, quietly spelling Mr. Garner's words ("I can't breathe") in morse code.
