My Lady White I. Madrigal (solo marimba)
My Lady White by David Maslanka, first movement, performed by Nathan Hewitt. Sure there are errors (especially if you are familiar with it), but they are minuscule. SteveWeissMusic: My Lady White by David Maslanka is a collection of three songs for solo marimba. All three are very beautiful pieces and are among the best tonal literature for solo marimba today.
. David Maslanka: My Lady White is the title of a poem by Geoffrey Chaucer. The muse of inspiration is always seen as female, and Chaucer's 14th century saw a full flowering of this idea. Male artists chose living women as the embodiment of their highest ideals and creative impulses. These relationships were entirely spiritual in nature, allowing the artist free expansion of imagination and feeling. Chaucer's White Lady was Blanche (White), wife of John of Gaunt, a leading nobleman and diplomat of the time. Madrigals are brief vocal pieces of the 16th and 17th centuries that allow for intense word painting and emotional expression. I have used the title 'madrigal" for my pieces because they are brief, evocative, and feel to me like vocal pieces without words. The first piece, My Lady White, evokes the idea of the feminine muse. |
