I selected this piece because it shows a dynamic internal contrast between a mild, lingering sadness and overwhelming depression.

“What child is this who laid to rest on Mary’s lap, is sleeping!” sang the people. Such a beautiful piece to play.

Mine have always bragged about my singing, always claiming, "She will go far with her voice". I used to never pay any mind to it, but…
