Piano - Digital Download SKU: BQ.979-0-50179-710-3 Composed by John Mitchell. This edition: softcover. Bisel New Classics. Score. With Text Language: English / German. Opus 102. 44 pages. Published by Bisel Classics - Digital (BQ.979-0-50179-710-3). ISBN 9790501797103.The Sonata No. 3 op. 102 was composed in the year 2000 and stands at the beginning of a series of sonatas created following the programmatic principle. The star Regulus in the sign Leo, being one of the brightest stars on the night sky, served as model and inspiration to Mitchell, who frequently refers to astrological and esoteric themes in his works. A multiple star consisting of four stars, it was referred to as a ruler in many cultures, and proudly holds titles such as Prince, Little King and in the Arabic culture even ''The Heart of the Lion''. The composer shows Regulus as ruler and law giver, providing harmony and justice by balancing energies. A regular form with an extended coda development is dominated by an upper second followed by a lower second, symbol of balance, standing for the reconciliation of justice that is proper for a ''correct'' ruler.

Deep River, perhaps the best known and best-loved of all spirituals, referred to the slaves' yearning for freedom and the rivers that would have to be crossed to get to the Promised Land.  They thought of these mighty waters as rivers flowing into distant horizons.  Campgrounds may refer to secret worship services.  They sang longingly:  Deep River, My home is over Jordan, Deep River, Lord, I want to cross over into campground.
