“Beautiful!”
This is a lovely piece by P Brent Register which sandwiches a rhythmic 5/8 section with a haunting melody. The 'Tender' marking at the outset creates just the right mood and the 'sassy' dance means cross accents and changing metre, so the balance of the piece really works well. You'll love it!
Cigány Könnyek (Gypsy Tears) by P. Brent Register is a work in two parts for flute and piano. The opening section, free and almost improvisatory, leads to a rhythmically charged and vibrant dance in 5/8 time.
