Elegy for my Father's Death
On August, 9th, 2019, my father passed away. It's obvious, and difficult to express trough words, the void who a father leaves by passing away. Everything, is some moments, looks crashing.
Music, I think, can better express these sensations and emotions.
So, I decided to record this Elegy in my Father's death.
Its tonality is d moll, a doubtlessly dramatic tonality, also used by Johann Sebastian Bach in dramatic moments together with f moll.
This piece is sad, somewhat desolated. Sadness is enhanced by the low notes, you can listen during the piece.
As opposed to them, some upper notes, looking fading, maybe to express the fading of death, who leaves a sense of void, somewhat of vertigo, a Father's death leaves into a relative. a son, like I am.
The close is on a lower d octave, quite hopeless, putting everything into a sort of darkness, and with no light, atmosphere.
On the background, images that could looks somewhat in contrast with the atmosphere of the piece: in fact, they were shot on August, 26th, 2019, in Varenna (Lecco, Italy), a wonderful town on the Easter shore of the Lake of Como (Lecco Shore). Nevertheless, these shots are not hopeless, because they show, anyway, the Life goes ahead, with seasons, sunrises, sunsets and so on. And, maybe, it wishes to represent the sunset of a Life, for the sunrise of something else.
Remember, in fact, that an end is also a new beginning. And the flow of Life shows it at any moment. Also the final fade is not only in the sense of a close, but of a new start.
I hope you enjoy this piece, and I'm waiting for your feedback.
