Description
My Shadow communicates shadow play through Question-Answer motifs, as well as echo dynamics between the instruments. Legato and staccato articulation convey a mischievous, playful feeling. These chamber pieces have been adapted from my original collection of piano solos, A Child’s Garden of Verses. The settings of these poems were composed to encourage developing musicians to explore the inherent poetry in music and to be bold in expressing that same poetry in performance. Performers are encouraged to tell the story of the poem in how they interpret and perform the music.
