Much of the piece is written like a nocturne. On the recording, the instrumentation (e.g., Spanish guitar and Bolero-like percussion) gives &#8220;Once in a Red Moon&#8221; an interesting Spanish flavor. I couldn&#8217;t really add that Spanish quality in my piano solo arrangement, but unlike my &#8220;Song from a Secret Garden&#8221; arrangement, I played most of the trills and I even added a few notes.<\/p>\n<p>I use the score from the Secret Garden Collection book (ISBN: 0757937063). The big challenge is to play the violin line of the score (originally clarinet and strings) with the treble and bass clefs of the piano together as a piano solo. For this piece it&#8217;s actually possible to play all the notes with just two hands, but the left hand has to jump around quite a bit in a few areas.<\/p>\n<p>If you like this video, check out my previous piano solos of Secret Garden&#8217;s &#8220;Heartstrings&#8221; and &#8220;Song from a Secret Garden.&#8221; The next Secret Garden piano solo arrangements I plan to upload are &#8220;Reflection,&#8221; &#8220;Adagio,&#8221; and &#8220;Nocturne.&#8221; After that, I plan to take a break from Secret Garden and post some of my piano solo arrangements of other contemporary composers&#8217; music. There are some other Secret Garden pieces that I adore (such as &#8220;The Promise,&#8221; &#8220;Papillon&#8221; and &#8220;Hymn to Hope&#8221;), and I&#8217;ll probably post those pieces sometime in 2010.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for watching!<\/p>\n<p>-Rick<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Secret Garden &#8211; &#8220;Once in a Red Moon&#8221; Music by Rolf Lovland Arranged by me &#8220;Once in a R<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":1089905,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[12668,669544,669545,20676,264507,174253,669542,3009,38986,669548,669543,669546,155161,11091,97411,669547],"class_list":{"0":"post-1089904","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-japanese-anime","8":"tag-arrangement","9":"tag-fionnuala-sherry","10":"tag-flip-ultra-hd","11":"tag-instrumental","12":"tag-neo-classical","13":"tag-new-age","14":"tag-once-in-a-red-moon","15":"tag-piano","16":"tag-red-garden","17":"tag-rickmaninov","18":"tag-rolf-lovland","19":"tag-samson","20":"tag-secret-garden","21":"tag-solo","22":"tag-transcription","23":"tag-zoom-h2"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1089904","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1089904"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1089904\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1089905"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1089904"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1089904"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1089904"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
