Sequoia Gigantea is a stunning and powerful piano solo that evokes the grandeur of towering redwoods. Written for the intermediate pianist, the piece features bold blocked triads in all inversions, moving in parallel motion across the keyboard to create a strong, resonant sound.
Set in common time and the key of C, it highlights expressive portato technique (staccato under a slur) and dramatic dynamic contrasts with crescendos and diminuendos.
This solo offers an exciting opportunity to develop chordal playing, voicing, and control of tone, while immersing students in a piece that feels expansive and majestic.
