LITTL
E ANGEL was composed in
loving memory of a
friend’s daughter who
was stillborn, to
commemorate a life
unlived. The first
movement, Hopes and
Dreams, opens the work
with sweet optimism and
charm. The second
movement, Anticipation
and Loss is a musical
setting of joy followed
by profound sadness.
LITTLE ANGEL concludes
with Finding Peace as the
third movement opens with
grief and longing,
followed by a plaintive
cadenza, and finally
ending with peace and
hope.
Little Angel was
commissioned by Janelle
Barrera in loving memory
of her daughter Daisy
Rose who was stillborn,
to commemorate a life
unlived.Little Angel is
written for flute and
piano in three
movements:1. Hopes and
Dreams: The first
movement begins with
three brief statements
that are introspective
and hopeful, looking
toward the future,
followed by a lyrical
melody in 3/4 meter.2.
Anticipation and Loss:
The second movement opens
with a playful melody in
mixed meter combining
simple time and compound
time. At letter C, the
tempo slows, and the tone
becomes decidedly more
serious and eventually
more somber.3. Finding
Peace: The third movement
opens with a melody
expressing grief and
longing, followed by a
plaintive cadenza, and
finally ending with peace
and hope.
