Song Without Words “alla Marcia”

The Songs without Words Op 30 are meant to paint a tone picture based on their subtitles. Composition of the Songs without Words was based on the history of classical song writing of Schubert and Mendelssohn with the latter serving as a role model.

The “alla Marcia” Song without Words is in a 2/4 rhythm reflecting a march beat. The underlying rhythm is a downbeat for the first beat followed by a triplet in the second beat. The melody modulates to D Major before moving into the middle section in the dominant key of A Major. The original melody then returns to the primary key in D minor. The piece ends in D Major.

The work was composed from 08 May 2015 through 25 June 2015.
