🇺🇸William L. Gillock ： Gillock’s Holidays The Queen’s Harpsichord

“The Queen’s Harpsichord” is a miniature that conveys the light, refined sonority of a harpsichord along with an air of courtly elegance. It unfolds through short, passing phrases, with the character changing within clearly defined sections. Evenly articulated, cleanly separated notes are essential to bringing out its antique atmosphere. Decorative notes and small movements should not be rushed; instead, they should be shaped carefully while maintaining the flow of the beat. Bringing the melody slightly forward of the accompaniment helps create a sparkling and playful musical character.
