La Luna Canta, by Rick Robertson is an intermediate level lyrical solo. The melody, supported by a triplet figuration, suggests another famous “moon” piece and the Schubert Impromptu in G-flat, and both inspired this piece.

Novela, composed by Rick Robertson is an intermediate level lyrical solo. It has a haunting melody with a contrasting middle section.

Be Thou My Vision, mingled the “Shepherd’s Song” from Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony, arranged in a contemporary lyrical style for late intermediates by Jennifer Eklund.
