Program Notes
This beautiful and lyrical piece was written to honor a young cancer victim. Comfortable ranges and minimal technical demands will give students the freedom to focus on the finer musical elements such as tone, phrasing, and breath control. The dramatic impacts and sweet counterlines will thrill.
