£84.50Many Moons - Peter Sciaino
A poignant balladic description of a memory of a New Mexico night sky, this lyrical piece encapsulates the feeling of wonder and humility felt when we stare out at a sky seemingly filled with hundreds of little moons.

Use this ballad as a contrast to your opener in concert or as a second selection in festival or contest performances.
