Prelude #133 by Allen Rickel

A dark, desperate lament opens Prelude #133 and the distress grows in intensity for two and a half minutes when the tempo increases and the mood changes completely.

The second theme is lighthearted and joyful; it reminds me of a Renaissance dance melody. This idea's harmonies--initially very simple--evolve and become quite rich before the tempo returns to its original pace as the original idea returns.

I hope that you find something you enjoy in Prelude #133 and that you'll let me know about it.

Thank you, as always, for taking the time to listen. I appreciate you.

Best,
Allen
