Composer Notes:
There is a timeless quality to this piece in which I was trying to capture the spirt of Satie’s Gymnopédies. Although fairly simple from a technical standpoint, it does require a deft use of pedal to create and maintain an ethereal atmosphere. The impression of space is further enhanced by the distance between the two hands and the breaks in the melodic line; as if the melody is in no hurry to find the next part of the phrase, rather letting the notes emerge from a sense of inevitability.
