Sky Mirror (Krista’s Song) is my first foray into Carolyn’s work, but I’m sure it won’t be my last! It’s a stunning piece of piano music, which sees this composer adding her own touch to the neoclassical genre. The piece sounds rather simplistic at first, but it’s absolutely beautiful to behold, captivating me instantly. A lone violin appears later on, accentuating the main piano line in perfect style. It’s a gorgeous track and one I beg you to listen to if you’re into classical music of any sort!
