Summary
Deep Compassion includes a reading of the eponymous prayer followed by beautiful piano music based on an original composition of Frederic Chopin. The piano composition includes Nocturne in A-flat Major, Op. 32 No. 2 - Lento. A long, gracious melody with a balletic middle section characterises this nocturne. It is a beautiful work of dreamy melody and majestic harmony. Simplicity of gesture is of the utmost importance throughout the opening section, followed by a stormier, more chromatic middle section. Chopin's minimalist gestures in the beginning elope into the generous, expanding atmosphere of the nocturne's centre. Chopin dedicated this piece to Madame la Baronne de Billing. Performed by Anton Kingsbury.
