Awake My Heart

Description

Commissioned by AGEHR Area IX for their 2008 Festival Conference, AWAKE MY HEART, opens with moderately soft chord progressions before stating the lyrical melody. The accompaniment provides a swaying effect while the optional flute enhances the overall charm of the piece. The tone of the middle section changes to an energetic, syncopated rhythmic pattern, alternating between 4/4 and 3/4 time signatures. There is a brief return to the melodic opening section before the piece concludes. Written in Ab Major, measures total 201.
