Antonio Molina - We Were Moonlight (1941)


"We Were Moonlight" reflects the ardent influence of European music impressionism, particularly Debussy, on Antonio Molina. This composition was inspired by a poem by Jose Garcia Villa, pennamed Doveglion (pseudonym derived from dove, eagle, and lion), entitled "Poem beneath a Blue Lampshade." Cast in a rounded binary form, the piece begins with an A section in D Major set in the Romantic tradition of adding altered chord notes such as 6ths and 9ths, and a flowing arpeggiated accompaniment. The tranquil B section in B-flat Major is set homophonically. The return of the A section includes tonal excursions, mild chromaticism, and exchanges of arpeggio passages.
