Windblown Willows
ag
composed as a homage to an American Impressionist painter (Daniel Garber)?
Actually, it is the title of one of his masterpieces, but for an Italian it
is difficult to evaluate the power of a title given in English by an
American artist.
Thankyou for your help.

Nothing wrong with it. Why would you want to change it in any case
since it was the title of a masterpiece by the person who is being
homaged, and since it is obviously intended to be descriptive?
'Willows of (or in) the Wind' would be a bit more mellifluous and
clever, but less descriptive and not from the painter, so don't use it,
use 'Windblown Willows'. daveA

It's the name of this impressionist painting:

Oops! Yes, it works fine, IMO.

I think it is entirely appropriate, given the name of the painting to
which it is homage.
Before I read that, I thought it sounded like a shade from a Sherwin
Williams catalog.

"Windblown Willows" is a fine, evocative title.
Thank you, Larry, for the URL.

Thankyou very much to you and to the other friends who answered my question.
This will be the title of the new piece.
I hope to be able to create a piece of music which matches the beauty of
Garber's painting!

Pennsylvania as a child, I remembered that light that he evokes so
well. It wakens blissful memory like a sounding bell. Most of those
paintings took my breath away. Thank-you Angelo and thank-you Larry for
finding that site. Extraordinary.

I am so glad for what you say, Kevin. Great painters have a special power,
capturing the remote essence which is unique of a region, beyond its
appearence on surface.
I have understood many places which I saw mainly through the works of their
painters. Daniel Garber is an Impressionist in the way he is able to capture
the light, so a true Impressionist, in spite of his rather realistic
rendering of landscapes.

wood of the buildings and feel the crisp air. Perhaps my nostalgia
overwhelmed my aesthesia.
I am curious if the form of your piece is reflective of the narration
of forms used in the Willows?

I do not know. The process is rather instinctive. Meeting an art work which
you like, creates an intellectual-emotional tension. Most of times, it does
not go further. Sometimes, it is so strong that it calls for expression. The
design - or the adoption - of a form comes from your inner tension, not from
a a project. Yesterday I sketched the first 16 measures of the piece, with
the purpose of going on today. But right now I am doubtful about whether I
should retain yesterday's project of a Sonata, or developping it into a
broader form - eg a sextet for guitar and woodwinds (at this stage, this
option is quite possible). The solution will be found, again, inside and not
outside.

Thankyou for the useful link. Since three years I visit regularly the
American art website askart, and I have established a certain acquaintance -
as far as it is allowed to appreciate a painting from an Internet
reproduction - with Californian painters, especially the generations between
19th and 20th century. I am now familiar with more or less all the
Californian artists represented at
http://www.askart.com/interest/california1.asp
and I like half a dozen of them.
I have also discovered the American painter whose works are to my eyes the
most fascinating. His name is Daniel Garber from Pennsylvania. A true
master. His atmospheres look magic to my eyes and it is likely that one day
such a suggestion will take the form of a guitar piece.
Ciao.

I have a water color of Morro Bay by one of my sister's teachers over
my fireplace. The artist is the son of a well known California artist
and it captures it perfectly. I lived there for a while and my family
lives there now. It's quite lovely to have such a beautiful painting in
my home to look at every day.
Glad you liked the paintings. You can see why AG is inspired by such art.
