Me (reAffirmation)—Randall Standridge.

Yellow Moon—Aaron McMichael.
When the moon appears orange or yellow, it
simply means that the observer is looking at it
through more layers of the atmosphere. This
lyrical composition set in the easily accomplishable
key of concert B flat uses multiple musical layers
to create an aural impression of the moon's visual
appearance. Using gentle percussion and small
dissonant moments, this is the perfect piece to
teach rubato phrase shaping and the concepts
of minor tempo variations to help create a mood.
There are no extreme range challenges, so
performers can concentrate on creating emotional
moments with a beautiful performance. Great as a
contrasting selection or as a contest ballad.
