The Carnival

Published: January 07, 2016 (Composed in 1975)


This piano tune has always made me think of the magic of a carnival carousel. It has a little bit of dance, some mystery, and seems to just flow around and around. I was in my early teens when I wrote this, but did not get around to actually scoring and producing it until many years later. This one, along with The Little Ballerina, are my very first pair of completed compositions with just a solo piano. I was between 9 and 10 years of age.
