Reflected Joy 2

a composition for piano by Robert Train Adams
masterlist : piano

Duration

2 minutes

Description

Like the previous Reflected Joy, this piece is based on themes from my son Jeremy's then-upcoming wedding to Amanda Riegle. The flavor of Jesu, Joy is quite evident, with the Beethoven Ode to Joy presence quite subtle at the beginning (hints in the left hand 7 measures in; a much stronger statement towards the end of the piece in the treble clef). Although nobody would call this a neo-Baroque piece, it flows more gracefully than its companion work largely because of the 12/8 time signature and the three-measure open-ended phrases.
