Lake Michigan Sunset Piano Solo

Written and Performed by Dean Gilbert
Many Michiganders have enjoyed a beautiful sunset over Lake Michigan. A few years ago, Jill and I rented a condo for a week in Petoskey. The condo was right next to the state park. Every night we would walk to the beach in the state park and watch the sunset over Lake Michigan. This music reflects that sunset ritual. The opening begins with the waves gently crashing on the beach churning up the sand. The first theme begins as the sun sits low in the sky creating a great sparkle across the water. An interlude descends down the piano as the sun dips lower in the sky. The main theme is heard again an octave lower as the sun sits even lower in the sky. The music begins to build excitement as the sun begins its final descent to the water. When the bottom of the sun connects with the water, the crowd begins to cheer. With every crash of waves, the sun sinks into the water of Lake Michigan. The sun disappears and we once again hear the main theme another octave lower as daylight disappears. The dark sets in and we can only hear the gentle crashing of the waves on the beach.
