This is a short easy meditative piece featuring a one line melody that creates interesting harmonies with the pedal held down. This will give the player the satisfaction of playing a harmonically interesting piece of music for the effort of learning how to play one single line. The tempo is slow and free which gives the student the opportunity to sit back, relax and enjoy music making.

Composed by Lynne Cox. Children,Contest,Festival,Instructional. Score. 4 pages. Lynne Coc Publications #638879. Published by Lynne Coc Publications (A0.1033570).

Introducing in her series, 'Box of Paints', 'Purple' is an early elementary piano solo. 'Purple' is a great beginner piece with hands on middle C position in the A sections, traveling all over the piano in B section using damper pedal. In the key of F, form is: Intro A B A coda. The student learns to build the F major triad one note at the time in the intro (repeated in the coda) to mimic a trumpet fanfare. At the same time the student learns crescendo as the fanfare builds for 4 measures. This includes a 'natural crescendo', simply meaning thicker texture as one adds notes harmonically (vertically). After all, this is a royal color that is associated with kings and queens (in the lyrics). Lyrics are in poetic style singing of things that purple brings to mind. The piece is designed to be open-ended encouraging and inspiring the student to think of things they like in this color and compose their own lyrics, even composing their own music about their favorite color. Purple is a secondary color that results from combining the two primary colors, red and blue. **An added bonus to this sheet music is a picture to color below score on 2nd page of all the things that were in the lyrics. Each of the six elementary solos in this series explores the different emotions various colors evoke and/or represent. The entire series (6 pieces) would make a grand recital program and/or contest and festival lists.

A piece based on a left-hand alberti-like bass pattern which sometimes diverges from the tonic through the cycle of fifths. It's quite a relaxing piece but not as harmonically simplistic as the title would suggest. .
