Composed by Liz Nedela. 20th Century,Contemporary,Contest,Festival,Instructional,Multicultural,World. Score and parts. 21 pages. Liz Nedela #5801577. Published by Liz Nedela (A0.938013).Variations on the Pentatonic; One Piano Four Hands. Using several pentatonic scales, the three movements (two are short, one is long) of this piece have many moods, as the title implies!
l. Melody on the Miyako-bushi is slow and dreamy (altho, some pianists like to play it fast and dreamy).
2."The Chase" on the Man Gong is fast, as the primo and secondo chase each other!
3. Variations on the Blues Minor is the longest movement and has a lot going on with tempo changes, running up and town the piano, displacing accents, a dreamy Adagio, Allegro contrasts; and rhythmic motives and jazz harmonies get tossed back and forth in Primo and Secondo.
This was a commission for the WSMTA Composer of the Year 2014; and it has a counterpart: the piano solo written for the Intermediate composers of WSMTA, which is listed elsewhere in this catalog.
Have fun with this piece! -- while you learn about pentatonic scales in a very different way!
