Instrument: Guitar
Hometown: St. Paul, Minn.
Piece: John Dowland — The Frog Galliard
Why did you choose this piece?
I love this piece because of the complexity it brings to both the left and right hand. John Downland's Renaissance melody flows beautifully throughout the piece, having a variety of fast and quick phrases. The piece reminds me of a river, one that flows with ferocity at points, but the water is also very calm and can feel as smooth as glass.
