Product Description

Sonorous Intermediate Piano Solo, in 7/4 with additive note values at the end, Coma Berenice contains seven letters in its name, used as an ostinato. The historical Queen Berenice, married to Ptolemy III Euergetes of Egypt was worried when her husband went to war. She vowed to cut off her long, beautiful hair if he returned home safely. When he did, she honoured her vow, placing the hair in the temple of Aphrodite. The next day, the hair was gone. Ptolemy was very angry until his shrewd court astronomer told him Aphrodite was pleased with the sacrifice and had placed the hair in the sky as a constellation. Performance Time 3 minutes. 3 pages. From 88 Constellations a collection by Heather Cattanach featuring one piece of piano music for each of the 88 constellations (to match the number of keys on a standard piano). (General Instructional, Modern, 21st Century, Repertoire, Recital)
