Originally composed for studio orchestra, this jazz-influenced, very accessible ballad for piano and flugelhorn is ideal for expressive interpretation. Of the studio orchestra edition, available at Charles Decker Music Press, The New York State School Music News says, This slow ballad has an effective legato flow with remarkably colorful orchestration … a very original and playable creation.  The audio file is an actual flugelhorn with piano accompaniment and not a computer playback of the score.

Love. Caring, Passion. Faithfulness. Peace, Joy. Memories. All these and more can be found in this new romance for flugelhorn and piano. Originally composed for cello and piano, the composer felt that a version for flugelhorn and piano would be equally compelling. Kenneth Baird's ...to cherish is perfect for adding a touch of elegance to recitals, weddings, anniversary celebrations, Valentine's Day parties, and more. The flugelhorn part requires excellent control as well as sensitive musicianship, and may be played on trumpet if a flugelhorn is not available. The demands of the piano accompaniment are modest.
