Coral Cove Beach

A piano solo, Coral Cove Beach (Choral and Variations) is written for Intermediate level students. It is a part of the "Sunshine Suite," and dedicated to the great State of Florida. This work is commissioned by the Brevard County MTA. The theme is written on a Russian folk music. The eight variations cover a wide range of tempo and keys. The chorale-like theme evolves through each variation, painting different images and characters from life in an old Russian village. In the final variation, the somber theme becomes a lively, Russian dance.
