About this arrangement

Piano - Intermediate SKU: AP.44334 Composed by Robert D. Vandall. Graded Standard Repertoire; Piano Suite; Piano Supplemental; Solo. Recital Suite Series. Form: Suite. Recital. Score. 12 pages. Alfred Music #00-44334. Published by Alfred Music (AP.44334). ISBN 9781470622923. UPC: 038081499550. English.Colorful Colorado provides a musical tour of this western state. The suite opens with Aspen Leaf Rag, a buoyant ragtime number inspired by the colorful tree that covers many of Colorado's mountainsides. Technical challenges in this piece include a stride bass pattern in the left hand and heavy syncopation. Moonlight on the Slopes is a lyrical piece that oscillates between 3/4 and 6/8 meter. Flowing arpeggios and a delicate melody evoke the serenity of a moonlit, snow-covered landscape. The suite concludes with Pike's Peak Boogie, a loping boogie-woogie number that calls to mind the cowboys and pioneers who founded the city of Colorado Springs. This piece features an engaging combination of classic blues inflections and unexpected harmonies.
