This product provides a PDF score for solo pianists eager to add 'Chia' to their list of performances. Originally the second movement of the guitar duo Muisca, Chia has been arranged here for solo piano. Duration 4:50 minutes Sleepy yet mysterious, Chia opens with a melancholic passage, before the hands enter into a gentle melodic interplay. The music then settles into a lightly swinging rhythmic bed allowing room for quietly emotive statements in the piano’s mid-register voice. The goddess Chía (from the chibcha language) is "the one who is like the moon".
