Solace Dance Grade 4 Duration: ca. 4.00 Educational Points: Perusal Score-Not for performance use This piece uses many different key areas and will give students experience switching between various key signatures. The musical themes are fairly repetitive and allow for students to concentrate on these changing keys. Articulation is also crucial in the main thematic material. These accents and staccatos serve a stylistic purpose. The music should have a light and energetic dance-like feeling to it. It may take some time for students to feel comfortable with their own part and how the counterpoint fits together. About the Composer: Nicole Piunno is a composer who views music as a vehicle for seeing and experiencing the realities of life. Her music often reflects the paradoxes in life and how these seemingly opposites are connected as they often weave together. Her harmonic language and use of counterpoint mirrors the complexity of our world by acknowledging lightness and darkness, past and present, beauty and brokenness, confinement and freedom, spiritual and physical, life and death. Nicole holds a Doctor of Musical Arts degree in composition and a Master of Music degree in theory pedagogy at Michigan State University. She earned a Master of Music degree in composition at Central Michigan University. Nicole earned a Bachelor of Music degree in Music Education and her emphasis was on trumpet.

There was one particular painting of an outdoor scene that caught my attention. While engaging with this work I remember saying to myself: “This is solace”. I often think it takes work and seeking to find solace, as it does not always come to us naturally. In this work I imagined a person dancing her way to experiencing this sense of peace. www.nicolepiunno.com Copyright © 2016 by Nicole Piunno (BMI) All rights reserved.
