You played The Sunken Cathedral? *is seriously impressed*

[aearwen2]

Robert Heeble has an absolutely glorious arrangement of it for organ/piano. It's one of those pieces that Nashoma and I worked up and now run through at least two to three times a month just to make sure we can still play it.

Thanks.

Whew!

NOW I have to find out how the Sunken Cathedral sounds - I had never heard of that piece before. It's funny, how I alternately hate the internet and love the internet, and right now I love it because you have expanded my mind and thirst for knowledge. :D

Hugs,

Here's a link to a fairly decent solo piano rendition of it (and personally, I snagged the sheet music myself, as I've only played it as a duet, but the solo sound intriguing.)

Another thing you might enjoy is the following video with the composer playing one of the solos I played - Waterfall:

Mind you, I didn't play it quite that fast, but it is a spectacular piece at any speed, frankly...

Enjoy.

Congratulations! I'm glad to hear that the performances went well and that there's a bit less pressure for Saturday so you can enjoy yourself more.

I like Itzak Perlman's way of thinking, although I'd add one more thing. A good performer also shares her joy of playing with her audience.
