Meditation

This solo is presented in a lush, relaxed format which incorporates the carols “Silent Night”, “Away In A Manger”, “It Came Upon A Midnight Clear”. The solo line is altered rhythmically to give a sense of child-like gentleness while the accompaniment gives a restful underpinning of lush harmonies.

This flute solo begins with the piano playing a gentle motif of the theme and then joined in with the solo line playing the theme in a straight forward fashion. The theme is now stated in a modified manner while the soloist exudes a moving obbligato line which adds more excitement to the piece. The piece concludes with the latter section of the first section and then settles into a solemn repose.

This bubbly rendition of “Come Thou Fount” is effervescent from beginning to end. It is filled with movement and excitement expressing intense joy throughout.

This solo with piano is straight forward in design, giving the young player the opportunity to display dynamic and stylistic variety.

Although the melody is gently modified, this solo with piano displays both a sensitivity along with an elevated soaring quality expressing the need for divine interaction on the part of humanity.
