With lovely harmonies, but surprising melodic and mood changes, this piece will be perfect for festivals and to bring any concert to a rousing close. From the contemplative beginning into a mysterious interlude, then a driving melody that moves from 4/4, this piece transitions into an accented segment in C major, a playful pizzicato section, and then closes with the original melody set in 9/8, creating a feeling of coming home. With such a wide variety of settings in one piece, teaching opportunities abound. |
