Busy Lizzy (Rob Catlender)

I based this composition on the chord structure of Gershwin’s ‘I got rhythm’.  Lots of jazz compositions are based on the so called  ‘rhythm changes’.

I used large leaps in as well melody and dynamics. Octaves and sevenths and jumps from ff to mp.

I wrote it for my second daughter Annelies when she was 8 years old.
