Level Three: moonlight grotto

REVISED EDITION

2018: Boston, Mass

ca. 8 minutes in duration

Cello and Piano

The original version was premiered in April, 2014 at Stetson University.

This is a revised version of an older composition I wrote shortly after starting my music education. Information about that version can be found here.

In this revised edition I went back to the original and expanded some sections while removing others. My goal was to have a performable piece that still kept the same inspiration and harmonic language as the original, while also reflecting my growth as a musician and a composer over almost 5 years.

Like the original version, the goal of this piece is to represent various emotions and scenes that were inspired by ‘The Legend of Zelda’ series of video games without directly quoting from them.

The score can be found here.

This version does not currently have a premiere scheduled. A live recording will be made available when the premiere does happen. Until then, here is a synthesized version of the MIDI data from the .sib file:
