Higher Ground
$5.50
A rather jovial introduction is begun by the piano and then joined in by the soloist stating the melody’s verse and then the chorus in a modified form. The second verse is presented in a pleasing way underpinned by the piano using a harp-like accompaniment. And once again, the chorus is presented in a even more modified way. The coda section continues with the flavor of the piece in a motivic manner and then arrives to the final destination in repose.
