This piece is dedicated to my daughter, Lilyanna, and uses her name as the main motif (F, C, F, D, A, G#, G#, A). The prelude uses these notes exclusively and also employs variable meters as developed by Boris Blacher. The piece is meant to be a fast and fun experience in honor of my youthful daughter who is a dancer. The instrumentation is a Mande (West African) Kenkeni drum, MK I Fender Rhodes, and Fodera Imperial bass. VST libraries are NI West Africa, Pianoteq, and Modo Bass.
