This is a lively yet peaceful composition originally written for violin but arranged for guitar. It also sounds great on mandolin.
[the following is copied and pasted from my main page] As a composer, I'm pretty much a composer on the side. When I have an idea, I write it down and go with it, but I don't focus all my musical energy into being a composer. I actually go through phases, or "seasons" as I would call if, of composing. I may compose very solidly for a few months on end and then not compose a thing for months on end. I am very much passionate about the compositions I do write. I also begin virtually every composition with pencil and staff paper, only transferring it onto an electronic medium (such as MakeMusic(tm)/Finale(tm)) as it becomes a finished product.

Story behind the song
This piece was written as an assignment to write a piece completely in monophony. Learning violin at the time, I decided to write it for that particular instrument, hence "G" being the lowest note. Shortly after writing it I learned that some of the phrasings and fingerings are nearly, if not, impossible on violin. Additionally, the note articulations are not suited for violin. This would, however, make for an excellent guitar or even woodwind piece.
