J. W. Linn

Indigo Bay

Inspired by a twilight evening on a bay in California, this lush solo in romantic style is a perfect choice for the advancing student who wants to develop his or her lyrical skills. The sweeping L. H. accompaniment in open-position, broken chords adds graceful support and harmonic richness to the elegant single-line melody in the R. H. Unexpected harmonic and register shifts add colorful highlights to the lovely solo line. A stunning recital piece. Hal Leonard Student Piano Library Level 5 (Intermediate); 4/4; flowing moderate tempo; good flexibility needed in both hands; Key of a minor; 3 pages.
