Improvisation


(March 5, 1993) This piece is admittedly based on the same little motive as "Reflections Past".  For this reason, it sat unplayed for several years.  Eleven years later, I decided it was worth saving and gave it to Hillyer Jennings, who took it up and performed it on his high school senior recital in the spring of 2005.  The piece is dedicated to Hillyer, who is now a graduate of Harvard Law School and is practicing law in London.  (So. learn this piece and see how far it takes you.  I'm just saying.)  It is currently the closest thing to "jazz" that I have attempted.

I have also used this as service music (offertory) and played it as wedding prelude music.
