"One Day in June". - my original oomposition for accordion This piece explores the use of polychordal harmonies for the standard bass instrument and celebrates the textural strengths of the instrument. A slow dreamy movement combines with a faster tango inspired close as it travels through tonal centres using M6 m6 and sus2 harmonies. Intended for intermediate to advanced players.
