This piece is the first in the set Songs of love and longing
The next piece is It's like the light
If you don't want to buy the whole set, then you can buy The moon individually using the link on this page.
This piece should exude pure longing. The phrases are written to mimic the advance and retreat of waves and rubato can be used effectively.
Words
The Moon is distant from the Sea — And yet, with Amber Hands — She leads Him -- docile as a Boy— Along appointed Sands --
He never misses a Degree— Obedient to Her Eye He comes just so far-- toward the Town-- Just so far -- goes away --
Oh, Signor, Thine the Amber Hand -- And mine -- the distant Sea — Obedient to the least command Thine eye impose on me —
