Midsummer Nocturne

This late intermediate piece is great for recitals. �It gives the student a chance to show off their expressive side, while giving them a good technical workout. �Although it is slow and poetic, the syncopated rhythms and grace notes will give your students a challenge. �It has typical Copland characteristics, 20th century harmonies mixed with rich chords and a beautiful melody. �This short piece will surely become a favorite.
