Vayriel: Protector of the Mountains

This lyrical solo features a sense of adventure, with room for storytelling and imagery. It explores ABA form, musical narrative, phrasing, pedaling, & articulations. Great as a recital piece, sight reading, or for fun. The melody is a musical cryptogram of Vayriel. Inspired by the novel “Trials of the Innermost,” this is the first of three movements of The Etherea Suite, Volume 1.
Co-author Kristina Kelly says: "Vayriel is protective of her family. Her magic is healing and growth rather than damage. She prefers alone time with her animal companion more than with people. She’s contemplative and caring. A bit withdrawn before she knows you, then she's open to sharing and conversation. She’s had loss in her past but doesn't dwell on it."
