Product Description
Emoticons III is the third in a series of compositions that are designed to be aural representations of images that reflect emotions. This composition has eight short movements and is scored for wind quintet.
I. Nebulous The wandering tonality, slow tempo, frequent shifts of color, and lack of cadences gives this movement a feeling of vagueness.
II. Puckish This Allegretto movement has a playful quality that is created by staccato articulations, melodic leaps, unexpected use of rests and sudden tonality shifts to express an impish quality.
III. Excited A fast tempo and technical passages along with driving rhythms help this movement express excitement.
IV. Horrified Angular melodic lines, trills, dissonant chords, extreme ranges, and accents are all used to create this emotional representation.
V. Jocular This playful movement in an Allegretto tempo uses staccato, syncopation, meter change, dotted rhythms, and angular melodies for its laughing sounds.
VI. Scattered A Presto tempo with hemiola, staccato notes, and light scoring are used throughout this short movement that feels like it is constantly changing direction.
VII. Regretful This Lento movement has sad legato lines with unresolved dissonances at the beginning and end. The middle section creates a sense of hope but quickly returns to the sorrowful sound.
VIII. Confident This movement is in a march style with strong accents. Its clear lines and rhythms help portray strength in ones beliefs.
