Joe Clark Op. 122, No. 4 For Piano
2 DURATION: 1.5' INSTRUMENTATION: Piano
PROGRAM NOTES: In the spring of 2021, I began giving informal composition lessons to Chris Price, a junior at LPHS. I decided it would be fun to also realize the assignments I was giving him, hence this series of short pieces. The assignment: Write a 1-2 minute piece for solo piano OR guitar based off of Debussy's "Clair de Lune" PERFORMANCE NOTES: The piano part is designed to print as a two-page spread. Inspired by Debussy's Preludes, the title is printed at the end of the work. -Joe Clark, 27.02.2021 JOE CLARK is one of the band directors at La Porte High School in La Porte, Indiana.
