| Description: |
| The fourth movement of Suite No. 1 has a religious sound, at least to me. Listen to the sound file, which has the quarter note at 30 bpm, close your eyes, and imagine sitting in a pew in a country church, with the sunlight filtered through crude stained glass windows. This is the only movement where you have repeats. All the other movements, I write out the repeats, changing them, embellishing them, but not this movement. It is peaceful, stately, and spiritual. |
