The warmth of a grandfather's embrace as he stares in awe of a cherished baby grandchild is the inspiration for this heartfelt composition. In Grandfather's Arms is a work for developing orchestras that emphasizes expression, phrasing, and dynamics. Lower strings will also have the opportunity to be featured as they carry the key melody making this piece a wonderful teaching tool.
Good music played well inspires the imagination. Whether it is a grandfather, grandmother, mom, dad, aunt or uncle, everyone has had someone they cuddled with before bedtime. The warmth of their body, their arms protectively around you, their soothing voice, and the faint thumping heartbeat rumbling from their chest, all created a trusting and warm place for you to drift off to slumber land. In their arms you were adored, you were special, you were loved, and you always knew that there was a tomorrow.
