Return to Waterford

This tender, flowing waltz conveys a sense of peaceful nostalgia, reflecting his family’s long association with the pastoral village of Waterford, Maine. This enchanting piece provides an opportunity for young string players to master graceful phrasing and smooth legato bowing. Totally approachable for intermediate players, yet appropriately challenging for more advanced musicians, it includes a delightful optional harp/piano part. An original fiddle waltz, written to celebrate the wedding of the composer’s daughter, this piece will transport audiences and complement any string orchestra program.
