This arrangement was conceived as the result of two recital programs that happened to occur in the same month: one with a jazz theme, and several with a Valentine's theme. The arrangement features an introduction based on a fragment of the theme. The rest of the arrangement preserves most of the original's melodic and rhythmic content, with some altered jazz-influenced harmonies and added countermelodies and textures.
This fun work was written as an encore for a performance at Capilano University which happened to take place on Clare's birthday. Featuring lots of theatrics and funny moments!
Scott Joplin's Solace is one of the composer's most sophisiticated and sensitive works. The arrangement follows the original's structure, with some altered harmonies and thicker texture.
