Prelude #84 by Allen Rickel

Despite the odd time signatures, Prelude #84 feels much brighter than its predecessor. Both of those--the time signatures and the brighter feel--were deliberate choices because I felt that my recent work has been a bit too dark. Completed on March 17th, 2022, (happy St. Patrick's Day!) the first theme is in 7/8 and is smooth and upbeat.

The second theme is another waltz (I love them and I hope you do too). Here, the emotion is front and center.

I hope that you'll find something in Prelude #84 that you enjoy and that you'll tell me about it.

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

Best,
Allen
