Sky Daphne's Melody

These exceptional young ladies are the kind of people you want to hang out with—not sure you can put your finger on why, but you know you want more of them because they add so much to life. When I asked for a photo of their beautiful instruments, they made a day of it, taking hundreds of pictures from which to choose. I am pleased and blessed to name this piece after them. (Daphne did mention that unright bass does not play melodies).
The sky mimics the Maestro's baton motions as he brings a written score to life. The scarf represents the absence of people and performances these days as music halls are closed across our land. But just as the scarf is free to blow in the wind, mandates cannot remove the melody in one's heart and soul. Keep the music alive!
