Morning Sunrise (Soleil du Matin)


(May 26, 2013)   This piece has a checkered past.  It was originally part of a longer, discarded piece. I decided to take it out of that context (a lyrical B section to an inferior more rhythmic A section) and add a coda.  This was completed on what would have been my mother's 83rd birthday and is dedicated to her memory.  That following Sunday, I played it as an offering at Franklin (Georgia) United Methodist Church.

I like this piece very much, but don't play it as often as I should.  It's a little more difficult than a casual glance would suggest, and I am guessing that it would appeal more to an adult or advanced student.
