Whimsical Slumbers - Grade 2.5
This piece is the perfect etherial playground for your ensemble. It’s nighttime, the hourly bells strike in the distance, and your body has started its transition to dreamworld. Breathe in. Breathe out. As you enter, you’re floating a top. You haven’t experienced serenity in your slumber quite like this. It’s overwhelming. Yet beautiful. Even with reminders of the real world in those hourly bells strikes, nothing can distract from the dreams you’re experiencing. Eventually, you have to wake up. But those whimsical slumbers will still be there.
