Review:
Cynthia Dobrinski's simple, yet beautiful 2-octave piece has been transcribed by Charles Maggs for only four performers while maintaining the integrity and character of the original composition. Performers and audiences alike will be captivated by the piece's lyrical melodies suspended over either simple ostinato patterns or half-note chords. Wonderful as a prelude, offertory or meditative anthem, or for concert.
There are only two pages (and no page turns) with performance suggestions written right into the score for easy access. The tempo is Cantabile, espressivo and the rhythms are simple, with the exception of a more rhythmic upper part. Written in E minor, it is 31 measures.
