  • @johndavidryan this is less a case of 'blame the composer' than 'blame the performers'. Richafort didn't write the clash that is heard at 2:11, as you can see by following the score on imslp.org. The performers, using musica ficta principles, have nudged the B flat up to a B natural in one vocal line, while keeping a B flat in another vocal line, creating a false relation. In the context of the gentle harmony of the music, this moment does jar the ear, but it was the performers' choice.

  • @Trucci6884 dissonance can often be used on purpose but this doesn't seem justified... it seams as though the writer simply connected to thoughts and themes clumsily.... An excellent use of dissonance and atonality can be found in Morten Lauridson's "Madrigali: IV- Io Piango"

  • An unstable tone combination is a dissonance; its tension demands an onward motion to a stable chord. Thus dissonant chords are 'active'; traditionally they have been considered harsh and have expressed pain, grief, and conflict.

  • NOW that`s what i call a piece of heaven!

    i got into a hypnose while i listened to this song!

    everything else just stopped!

    omgomgomg!

  • @JoelvanLennep It's called a dissonance and is often mistaken with a false note..Google for more info..;-)

  • Is there any sequence?

    

  • Beautiful, but what happened at 2:11? It cannot be mandated by ficta considerations.
