The Journey Piano Solo - Digital Sheet Music

SKU: A0.1133657

The Journey is a meditative solo piano excursion traversing realms of both melancholy and hope..quiet reflection and forward motion...the energy of momentum and the pause of reflection. It's an original fusion of neoclassical and new-age inspired piano music in the style of artists like George Winston and David Nevue. This piece is my way of musically expressing the patience, determination, and hard-won triumphs along the way in ‘the Journey’ of our lives - from finding our Purpose to the act of becoming who we are meant to be, both on an inner and outer level. It features two movements, with a rising, driven melody that keeps pushing ahead to new heights, full of unexpected harmonic twists and turns throughout, and an uplifting final section that builds slowly to an ultimate crescendo full of energy and enthusiasm. The recapitulation of the main melody at the end, yet in a new, brighter key, speaks to the transformation of the traveler as he proceeds along his journey, speaking to the growth and enhanced perspective that he has garnered along the way, and a summation of all he has become in the process. For intermediate to advanced pianists, looking for an emotional and dynamic piece that takes both the player and listener on a journey, pun intended. This composition is broken up into two movements, which can stand alone in their own right.
