Peaceful Slumber

It was one of those moments during the early hours of the morning, when the morning rays of white light softly flow in through the curtains and brighten the room.

Still gently asleep, you float adrift in a sweet dream. Your whole existence feels light as a feather, and as the mellow illumination in the room grows brighter, your consciousness glides slowly—almost imperceptibly—from the pleasant dream; you awake encompassed by soft, warm sheets, and a radiant glow of a new day before you.

That is what Peaceful Slumber is all about.

The piece was written during a short moment I had alone at home, with my wife and our then-only daughter out.  I don’t recall the exact timeframe, but I want to say that it took less than an hour.  Piano was my main instrument before I began composing, so writing for it felt intuitive, and I feel that I managed to communicate the idea that I had quite well.

If you pay close attention, you’ll actually notice that I’ve used this small piece of music in another one of my pieces; listen to Hop, Skip and Jump! to hear an orchestrated version of Peaceful Slumber.

Close your eyes, press play… and float away on fluffy clouds of serene daydreams.
