Moonlight Blue
from Taiwanese Suite by Chelsea Chen
Background
Registration and Organs
The registration is indicated by Ms. Chen, however, depending on the size of the organ the solo stop can vary between solo sections.
See the footnote in the "Notes" section at the bottom of the page. [1]
Fingering and Pedaling
The pedal line and the solo line work against each other when the pedal enters at measure 29. Watch out for that. In the last section where the left hand plays in half notes at measure 39, a very structured fingering needs to be used for perfect legato. In measures 9 and 20 the right hand must take the "F" on the Swell while holding the right hand note on the Great.
Articulation and Phrasing
Follow the phrasing indicated.
Ornamentation
At the beginning, the movement from 'G' to 'F' should be treated as an ornament.
Tempo and Meter
Slowly, Half note = 90
This is very free. Let it sing and flow. Imagine the moonlight while playing.
