Composed by Sy Brandon. 20th Century,Concert,Contemporary. 32 pages. Sy Brandon #4632265. Published by Sy Brandon (A0.755275).Euphony can be defined as the use of words and phrases that are distinguished as
having a wide range of noteworthy melody or loveliness in the sounds they create.
It gives pleasing and soothing effects to the ear due to repeated vowels and smooth
consonants. Euphony was chosen as the title of this composition because each
movement has a title beginning with "Euph" and the music is descriptive of the
movement titles.
The first movement is titled "Euphenism". A euphenism is a polite word or phrase
that is substituted for a word or phrase that has a harsher meaning. The music of
this movement begins gentler than the way it ends, therefore the beginning can be
considered an euphenism for the end.
"Euphrates" is the title of the second movement. This mighty river that flows from
Turkey through Syria and Iran was an important river in ancient times for its
extensive irrigation of the Mesopotanian Valley. This movement is both flowing
and expansive.
"Euphorbia", the title of the third movement, is a genus of flowering plants. It is
also caused "Spurge" as it tends to appear where it is not wanted. This movement
is a pretty waltz that is constantly interrupted by a dissonant motif. This motif
represents the invasive quality of "Spurge."
The last movement is called "Euphoria". It sparkles with its driving rhythms, fast
tempo, and syncopation, all representing unbridled joy.
This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard’s global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters.
