    Day 8: The Carroll Symphony Orchestra presents a Christmas Pops concert each year, and I usually allow the audience to submit requests.  After intermission, we roll out a grand piano and I play the most requested tunes.  Here is a portion of the improvisation from last Thursday night, December 15, 2016.  I include it in this series, on Christmas Eve, because it contains Clement Moore's "Twas the Night Before Christmas".  (I very nearly remembered the poem!)

    This is my first podcast in a while.  I've been thinking a lot about the music that I would like to share in the future, and while "Piano Lab" was a lot of fun, the new show "Tone Poem" will allow me to feature more orchestral, choral and other non-piano music.  Of course, there will still be a good bit of piano music - especially music for piano and orchestra - but the new name will more accurately describe the show from now on.  The piece featured in this episode is a Tone Poem for piano, called Asleep.  I've shared it before, but I thought it would be appropriate to share it once more as the first piece under the new podcast name. I hope you enjoy this piece, written when my oldest daughter was an infant.  It was inspired by the many nights I spent rocking her to sleep.
