Constituting America Founder & Co-Chair Actress Janine Turner Reads the Declaration of Independence

Janine Turner Reads the Declaration of Independence

Piano Sonata No. 1 - "Nostalgia for the Children"
At times reminiscent of Ginastera, Stravinsky, or Milhaud, but always wholly original.  This piece was written as a tribute to Mikel's three children.  Each of the first three movements bears a child's name (I. Judah, II. Josiah, and III. Rachel) and represents the personality of each child. The fourth movement, Kids at Play, incorporates themes, motives, and sections from the first three, seamlessly blended and combined in various creative ways to portray the children playing together.  Dramatic, playful, harmonically fascinating and virtuosic.
