Les Rêves de Colombine - Amy Beach (Score)

Patreon:   / classicalmusicanalysis  

Score of 'Les Rêves de Colombine', a suite-esque collection of five pieces for piano composed in 1907 by Amy Beach. When we finish listening to this exquisite compendium, it feels like it ended too soon - like it could go on forever. Every 'movement' has its own unique, simple yet masterfully crafted atmosphere. The last piece has an innovative throwback to earlier themes (Valse Amoureuse and La Fée de la Fontaine), mixed with a new playful one similar in nature to that from Le Prince Gracieux.
