Red
Publisher Desc.
In my new series, 'Box of Paints', is 'Red'. Each of the six elementary
solos in this series explores the different emotions various colors evoke
and/or represent. This is an elementary piano solo/lyrics. Red is one of the
3 primary colors and is strong, energetic, and powerful. It is attention-getting and this is why
sometimes it represents danger-as in fire trucks, stop signs, and train
crossings, all mentioned in the lyrics.
In some cultures, red is a lucky color.
Form is intro A B A coda. Is in the key of C and 4/4 time signature. To be
performed BOLDLY!
Intro demands attention beginning with fortissimo clusters deep in the bass
hands alternating, repeating up an octave, and then one more. A sections
employ solid triads in root position beginning in LH with RH answering an
octave higher. B sections arpeggiate these same chords with hands crossing
over. Coda is exactly the mirror image
of the intro, going down the piano with the clusters instead of up.
This is a good dynamic contrast with my Blue and Green in this
series.
Families of chords: utilizes 3 different families: 1. White/black/white; 2.
White/white/white 3. Black/white/white.
