The work opens with a fanfare, then settles into something lush and lyrical, written to inspire musicality in students.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProgram Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLooking up at the stars on a clear dark night deep in the woods was something that I enjoyed doing with my sons during our Boy Scout camping days. It gave us a sense of wonder; a feeling of how small we are in the vast universe. This piece for beginning students was inspired by this sense of wonder as you gaze up at the celestial sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work has a joyousness about it with the fanfare-type opening, but the main melodic material is lush and flowing. Well-shaped music lines will give the arch that I am looking for in a piece for younger students. It is always my philosophy to ask even the youngest of students to play musically; therefore, I try to write music that encourages that even at the start of their musical journey. They can and should be asked to make music from the start!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece could be a good opportunity to do some cross-curricular instruction by including some astronomy study while working on this piece with your students.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has been my pleasure to have the opportunity to write this piece. I hope you and your students enjoy it and find it useful for your program.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Twigg Musique","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45891658022965,"sku":"301527","price":74.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/7187\/7173\/files\/dcb2604-celestial-wonder-clark.jpg?v=1786666049","url":"https:\/\/www.twiggmusique.com\/products\/celestial-wonder","provider":"Twigg Musique","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
