Piano,Vocal,Voice - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.999881 Composed by William P. Gorton. 20th Century,Concert,Contemporary. Score. 2 pages. William P. Gorton #6116573. Published by William P. Gorton (A0.999881). Luna reluciente (Shining moon) is quintessentially romantic. The colors are impressionistic, and there is a sense of suspension in the lack of resolution that creates a magical energy, appropriate to the text that expresses adoration at the beloved in the night of a shining moon. Very accessible for the novice singer, this song also has plenty of depth for the advanced artist. It would be great material for a student or faculty conservatory recital or public art song concert, especially as part of a set (see other Spanish compositions by William P. Gorton: Brezo, ValentÃa, So el olivar). Intended to be sung in Castillian Spanish (i.e. reluciente would be pronounced reluthiente, with flipped r and theta-ized z and c where appropriate). A wedding could be an appropriate occasion for this lovely piece, as well.
