As a Doe Longs (solo piano)

This is one of my transcriptions of one of my own choral pieces. You can hear the original choral version at https://soundcloud.com/hilton-kean-jones/as-a-doe-longs. Interesting how one’s feelings about what’s the “right” tempo change over the years. You’ll notice I currently like a MUCH more leisurely tempo. When I was a kid, I thought Albert Schweitzer’s J.S.Bach tempos were woefully far too slow. Now, at 80, I understand: as the future gets shorter and shorter, one wishes to savor each note.
