Written as if from the perspective of an imaginary observer on the surface of Jupiter, gazing in awe at the moon. The feeling is of reverence and silent prayer – a meditation of great tenderness.
Features a rolling 12/8 section with cross-rhythm groupings in 3 and 4 throughout.
A reverent prayer and meditation, as if – from the surface of Jupiter – one is gazing in revelation upon the amazing sight of such a moon.
Featuring a flowing piano part played mostly legato. The bass part can be played without vibrato in the quieter passages, with vibrato used for emphasis only throughout if at all. There is a cadenza-like passage that can be played freely or improvised by the performer – using a common Indian scale.
