Piano Solo - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1024441 Composed by Kevin D. Cornwell. Christian,Concert,Romantic Period,Sacred. Score. 7 pages. GreenFlash Productions #6081141. Published by GreenFlash Productions (A0.1024441). The first of six Nocturnes in the Opus 4 set. This Nocturne is based on a traditional Armenian Hymn which is the opening melody line. To be performed quietly at a slow Andante tempo, the chant-like melody gives way to a fantasia section which develops the sigh gesture inherent in the shape of the main melody. During the fantasia the countermelody is presented with the two melodies as counterpoint in the coda. The work is readily accessible to the intermediate pianist for recital or sacred performances.I've dedicated this piece in memory of my Mother-in-Law, Alice Elmadjian whose angelic soprano voiced has been lost. A single recording remains and is available at www.aslanshope.com
