Silver Moon

At night you see the moon up in the sky shining in silver color. The radiance is both beautiful and tranquil. Although in triple time, the evocative Silver Moon sort of feels like it is in duple time with the combination of a half note and a quarter note. The third beat should be lighter, like Baroque dance music. It is more about a feeling so that the music sounds more natural and smooth. The work consists of three sections. The first and the third have a main theme with a repeated pattern of harmonic progressions. During the second part each melody sings more like a dialogue. The optional piano part adds to the special quality of the song.
