The Domain Of Hurakan: For Pianoforte (1902)

The Domain of Hurakan: For Pianoforte (1902) is a musical composition by Arthur Farwell. The piece is written for solo piano and is inspired by the Hurakan, a Mayan god of wind, storm, and fire. The composition is characterized by its complex harmonies and rhythms, which are meant to evoke the power and unpredictability of the Hurakan. The piece is divided into three sections, each of which explores a different aspect of the Hurakan's domain. The first section is marked by its driving rhythms and dissonant harmonies, while the second section is more introspective, with a slower tempo and more lyrical melodies. The final section returns to the driving rhythms and dissonant harmonies of the first section, building to a dramatic climax before resolving in a quiet, reflective coda. Overall, The Domain of Hurakan is a challenging and exciting piece of music that showcases Farwell's skill as a composer and his interest in exploring non-Western musical traditions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
