Description: This piece is tonal/modal, very American and rather grand. It is based on a previous piece and grew out of my experiences as a pianist including a little bit of rock and gospel, some ballet accoompaniment, Moussorsky from piano recitals, and those starry night themes I love. Near the end these ideas are cut into each other. Out on the New World CD entitled SWALES & ANGELS. Premiered by Joseph Kubera.
