about

This version of Greensleeves employs more dissonant harmonies than one often hears against the tune, but my work on this piece began with the harmonic structure of the traditional romanesca (see my notes on the other Greensleeves version for an explanation), and as I continued I pursued a sense of darkness, energy, and mystery more so than any kind of sarcasm or bitterness, knowing, of course, that just like spice in food, those dissonances might meet very different thresholds in the ears of different listeners. This is the one tune in the album where I offer distinct versions that contrast in two dimensions: consonant vs. dissonant and contrapuntal vs. harmonic.

Instrument: piano
Style: chromatic harmony
