“Snow Fairies Under The Moonlight” is a relaxing early advanced piece.  The snow fairies are back relaxing as they look upon the vast sky.  While the individual components are simple, put together they create something that sounds multi-layered.

This piece is an exploration of pedalling, cross-rhythms and multiple voices while keeping the overall sound as simple and relaxed as possible.

The dynamics of each voice will play a big part in the interpretation of this piece.  Students are encouraged to experiment with the range of each dynamic for each voice to create individual phrases that stand out.
