Hasenpflug-Chapel Further Down, The (SP)-B/V/C/Cro./3T/P

The Chapel Further Down is a keyboard-forward piece inspired by various sites of historic importance throughout the British isles. In many cases, there is a small church or chapel featured secondarily, set off to the side as a seeming afterthought to a castle, historic abbey, manor house, or even a great cathedral. This piece travels through musical ideas and emotions selected from those sites which made a lasting impression on me.
