Product Description

Delphinus, a Late Intermediate Piano Solo features playful staccato accompaniment in the right hand with cantabile melody in the left, and a contrasting contrapuntal section to tell the story. In ancient Greece a musician and poet called Arion was returning on a sea journey from a performance tour. The sailors threatened to rob Arion of his earnings and murder him. He made a request to play his lyre and sing one last song. His music attracted a pod of dolphins, who swam alongside the ship, leaping and smiling. Seizing his chance for escape, he leapt from the ship onto the back of a dolphin who carried him to safety. Therefore the dolphin was honoured and placed in the sky near the constellation Lyra. Delphinus the Dolphin is easy to see near the summer triangle as a small diamond shape with a tail. From 88 Constellations a collection by Heather Cattanach featuring one piece of piano music for each of the 88 constellations (to match the number of keys on a standard piano). Performance Time 1 1/2 minutes. 3 pages. (General Instructional, Modern, Modal, Repertoire, Recital)
