Cygnus Dei: Tune and Variations

[cygnusdei]

Hi pianophiles - here is an almost finished set of variations on a tune (still missing the final two variations). Thanks for listening, and tell me what you think

I had to laugh and smile, "It's the Flintstones"  and that melody I am quite familiar with!  lol
It's a refreshing and delightful piece to listen!  Light and airy.  I love the variations too.  You have some mighty fine fingerworks!   Thanks for sharing!   

best wishes,

Go_12 - thanks for the compliments! I forgot to mention however that this is not me playing, I'm using Sibelius and sample library (Garritan Personal Orchestra) on the computer.

Anyway, the piece is now finished, after nearly 8 months in the making. PDF is uploaded too:

I love it!     There are quite a bit of styles in there.  What was your inspiration for doing this?

Now that you have provided the score, I am tempted to learn it.

I'm glad you like it 

As for inspiration, at the time the tune was playing in my head and I got some ideas for variations 1 & 2. Over time sketches for the other variations popped into mind and the writing followed suit.
