Product Description
A short easy cello solo with piano
accompaniment.
Like "Shenandoah" and "Red River Valley," this simple bittersweet melody
calls to mind Americas rural past and the sadness of its Civil War. Written on
a long-past Memorial Day, its cover evokes an emotional remembrance of regret and
yearning with these words, "It is 1861. A young farm boy, called to war,
waltzes with his girl for the last time. The slow tune calls to mind a warm
summer nights barn dance, a sweet romance, and a sad farewell forever."
The piece is easy to play, but also worth playing well.
"I have listened to and played your
compositions. They are charming and very melodic and would be most useful, both
for training and performance."-Thomas Lindsay, former concertmaster, Virginia
Beach Symphony, New Jersey Pops Orchestra, the Atlantic Symphonette and
the FAME Festival Orchestra.
