Information about the piece

Moonlight Waltz is a charming and tranquil composition by Luke Faulkner.

Faulkner, a contemporary composer, is celebrated for his ability to create immersive atmospheres. Moonlight Waltz, like many of his other pieces, is representative of this beautiful, emotive style of composition that adheres to the simplicity yet expressive power of romantic soundscapes.

Musically, Moonlight Waltz contains many elements from the Romantic music period. Faulkner's piece follows a clear waltz rhythm in 3/4 time. The piece leans heavily on dynamics to convey the hypnotic allure of a moonlit night.

The song unfolds as follows:

• The piece begins with a steady, soft waltz rhythm, the melody wrapped in ebb and flow.
• The middle section presents a more emotional narrative with a more lively lower octave adding more weight.
• The piece then culminates in a delicate crescendo, before winding down to the gentle rhythm of the beginning, ending on a satisfying resolution.
