A pretty, solemn and sentimental piece. A smart, modern alternative for when you need a quiet hymn, or an alternative for Pachelbel’s Canon for weddings and church services.
The composer writes
‘Reflections’ is a memorial tribute to a dear friend, and is very loosely based on the first two bars of the hymn, ‘Seek Ye First’. Contained between bars 59 and 69 is music I composed when I was 13 – which is taken from a pop-song I wrote, entitled ‘Missing You’. I thought it to be touching to offer this bit of my first music as a tribute. The meaning of the title is made more clear, when I consider my very first written music coupled with the memory of my friend.
