Product Description

Octans marks the location of the southern celestial pole. It is circumpolar to the south pole, moving clockwise and contains the southern pole star Sigma Octantis. Compared to its northern counterpart, Ursa Minor, I have taken a similar approach, but move around the circle of fifths in a clockwise direction, use C to represent the pole star in the right hand, and allow the left hand to play the melody as it moves through the keys. Southpaw is slang for a left-handed person, and the left hand does most of the playing in this Intermediate Piano Solo. Octans is a navigational instrument, and this constellation is one that Nicolas Louis de Lacaille named. 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 minute. 2 pages. (General Instructional, Modern, 21st Century, Repertoire, Recital)
