Larry Clark
does it again with this
tuneful new feel good
piece. You and your
students will walk away
humming this tune. There
is even a nice
contrasting lyrical
middle section in the
relative minor to break
up the
piece.
Solstice: one
of two times in the year
when the sun is at its
greatest distancefrom the
celestial equator.A
solstice happens at the
mid-point of summer,
about June 21, and the
midpoint of winter, about
December 22. Each of
those times of year is
delightful. The carefree
days of summer have just
begun around June 21,
when the mind wanders to
long bike rides or walks
on the beach. During the
winter solstice the mind
is filled with all of the
delights that the holiday
season has to offer.
Either way, a solstice is
a joyous and fun filled
time of year, and this
piece is intended to
bring to mind some of
these wonderful times.
The main theme should be
performed in a light
carefree manner, which is
then contrasted by the
more lyrical and
passionate middle
section.As with all of my
pieces for younger
students, the tempo
indicated is merely a
guide. Adjust the tempo
to fit the needs of your
students. It has been my
pleasure to have the
opportunity to write this
piece. I hope you and
your students enjoy it
and find it useful for
your program.
