The Dance

   Just to keep you interested, here is the piece "The Dance", one of the second-half works from my collection "Spectrum". This piece is the soundtrack to all lovers during their first dance; if every teenage boy to step to the school gym dance floor is a rootless pirate and every girl a heart-torn beautiful American beauty. The opening is that of the Captain asking his love to dance. The slow figures played by the piano in the opening measures represents her indecisiveness. She is in love, but how could she love the man that wants to sell her on the slave market. The conflict is resolved as she takes his hand represented by the leading tone-tonic figure. And so "The Dance" beings. This excerpt is from the beginning of the movement. Enjoy and keep listening.
