Description

This pretty ballad is a feature for lead Alto player, with a lyrical melody supported by lush and interesting harmonies. A double time feel keeps creeping in, and finally develops into a chorus of double time jazz for the soloist. The ensemble builds to a climax before subsiding into a final statement of the ballad theme and a coda which includes a brief cadenza for the soloist.
