My composition entitled "Mariana" is based on my reaction toward the
painting “Mariana” by John Everett Millais. It is in E minor key which gives a
feeling of yearning and sadness. The melody reflects the character of Mariana in
the scene: tired, weary, and lonely. The bass part, from measures 5 to 8, is based
on the contrasting background, the inside and outside of the room, which gives a
nice perspective which helps describe Mariana's feelings.
