Antonio Molina - We Were Moonlight (1941)

April Misa (piano)

------------------

"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.

    I can see why Antonio Molina was dubbed "The Claude Debussy of the Philippines". This exact piece has a similar feeling to Claude Debussy's famous work, "Clair De Lune". I can see that he was also inspired by the piece at the beginning part which sounds very similar to Clair De Lune's intro. But it's just a guess. I only found him just recently, and it makes me think how there's a lot of good Filipino artists, but most are sadly under the radar (subjective of course).
