Etna Waltz

I composed this waltz after spending time in the town of Etna, California. I loved the sleepy, mountain town feel, and wished I couId visit more often. I primarily play violin, and enjoy playing both jazz and bluegrass. I wanted to compose a tune that could appeal to either audience and be played by either a jazz combo or a bluegrass band. I composed this tune by playing chords on the mandolin while singing the melody. I tried to imagine the feeling I had in Etna while I was composing the tune. I have played it on violin with my school jazz combo and with my bluegrass trio.

Creativity is a process in which a person uses art as an outlet to express their emotions and ideas. Sometimes it is easier for humans to express their feelings through music or art than through words.
