Rêverie
Wake Unto Me
Serenade
Cayendo
There is much to commend here, including the beautiful, eye-catching front cover featuring an idyllic country landscape. All four of the movements which make up this suite are very well-written; the music has immediate appeal, is very playable, and easy on the ear. The opening “Reverie” is a waltz with a pretty and memorable tune. The second piece, titled “Wake Unto Me,” is a slower waltz that displays shades of the influence of Irish harpist Turlough O’Carolan. A third waltz, this time with a passing nod to the music of Venezuela, and especially the music of Antonio Lauro, comes with the delightful “Serenade.” And the whole set is brought to a conclusion in grand style with Pat Coldrick’s splendid Latin-influenced “Cayendo,” a highly energetic and exciting piece of writing. The music is clearly notated and the fingering, if followed, works well. For players of the intermediate standard, this could be a little gem in their repertoire.
