"Three Ladies" is a contemporary classical composition by American composer Stanley Walden. The piece was composed in 1986 and premiered on March 12, 1987, at the Merkin Concert Hall in New York City. The composition consists of three movements, each representing a different lady. The first movement, "Lady of the Lake," is a slow and contemplative piece that features a haunting melody played by the solo violin. The second movement, "Lady of the Night," is more lively and rhythmic, with a jazzy feel. The final movement, "Lady of the Dawn," is a bright and optimistic piece that features a soaring melody played by the solo flute. The overall character of "Three Ladies" is one of introspection and reflection. Walden's use of solo instruments, particularly the violin and flute, creates a sense of intimacy and vulnerability. The piece is also notable for its use of jazz elements, which give it a unique and modern feel. Walden is known for his eclectic style, which draws on a wide range of musical influences, including classical, jazz, and rock. He has composed music for a variety of mediums, including film, television, and theater. "Three Ladies" is a prime example of his ability to blend different styles and create something truly original.
