Icicles - Crayola Lectern

Another winter-themed improvisation of a piano and voice; Icicles is an apt title for a song today as the last two days have seen snow across much of England which has come over all the way from Russia. This piece is of some interest to me because listening back I can visualize the outline of a song and start to hear other instruments and harmonies. As with most of my improvisations there are bits which could be improved, whittled down or extended were I to turn them into bonafide songs. The piece consists of three obvious sections, the first illustrating the crystalline features of ice followed by a repeated motif which builds its way into the robust final section with the tremulous voice of a man who is bloody freezing. The title and theme were not intended at the time of playing but are created retrospectively.
