Today I present my original composition, UNDER A MAIDEN'S SPELL.  I completed this piece in 2014 and scored it for piano.  Below is a screenshot of the title page from the autograph score:

'Twas Christmas Eve.  My father, sister, and I were at a local store purchasing culinary delights for our evening festivities.  The mood was merry and the setting glowed in the warmth of the occasion.  Suddenly, while awaiting service, I spied a vision of feminine poetry.  An employee, humble in her white deli frock and unpretentious demeanor, with hair pinned behind her head, looked to me with a disarming and slightly inquisitive expression.  She caught my eye and held it until I was distracted by the business at hand. When I looked back, I found the moment had passed like a fleeting dream.  Regal in appearance and reminiscent of Capucine, her long, wavy chestnut hair was illuminated gold by the oven-fire that crackled behind her.  I was immediately reminded of two images: Girl with a Pearl Earring by Vermeer and a lost young woman in Picnic at Hanging Rock.
