The Light Princess Suite

The Light Princess Suite, By Ayumi Okada

For Cello and Piano, Early Advanced, 13 Pages

................................

Commissioned by A.W.Duo, this suite of pieces follows a fairy tale called The Light Princess by 19th Century author George MacDonald (mentor and role model to such greats as C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien). Each suite features a critical moment in the story whose title is directly drawn from the novel: I. She Laughs Too Much, II. Look at the Moon, and III. This Is Very Kind of You.

An audio recording of A.W.Duo's live performance on March 30, 2014 at Church of the Good Shepherd in Columbia SC, courtesy of SCETV Radio, can be found Here.

The text of the story upon which the piece is based can be found Here.
