Composer
Gregory Singer's waltz
depicting the calm oasis
of Central Park is fresh
and new, but somehow
immediately recognizable.
Students and audiences
alike will be taken by
this piece from the very
first note. It is an
excellent piece to teach
young string players
about waltz style.
As
a child, I enjoyed roller
skating at an amusement
park in Portland Oregon
named Oaks Park. I
remember the waltz music
playing as the
announcement came Couples
only, or All skate. Years
later in New York City, I
awakened from sleep one
morning with the theme of
this waltz in my ears. It
was so cheerful and corny
that I asked myself
You’ve got to be
kidding me, where did
this melody come from? I
realized it was my
original. I notated it
immediately, and a few
weeks later I added the
second musical theme and
named it Central Park
Waltz. It reminds me of
the skating rinks that I
have enjoyed over the
years.
