The Darkened Valley

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Darkened Valley is a piece for piano solo composed in 1920 by John Ireland.[1]

The title is derived from a William Blake quotation: "Walking along the darkened valley With silent Melancholy".[2] Keith Anderson describes the piece as in "a poignant mood, lightened by a central passage in the major".[3]

A performance takes about 3½ minutes.[4][5][6]
