Song: Alagaesia and Eragon – a piano tribute

After reading Eragon by Christopher Paolini, I was struck by the American-ness of a teenager making the New York Times Bestseller list with his first novel. If that’s not living the “American Dream,” I don’t know what is.
Anyway, the book is quite good and I am very impressed by Chris’s accomplishment. So in honor of him and his first novel, I’ve written a piano tribute to my two favorite parts of the book: the world of Alagaesia and the protagonist Eragon. This piano piece begins and ends with an Alagaesian theme while the middle section is a tribute to Eragon. I hope it does both justice.
This was recorded off my old Roland HP-30006 keyboard and synthesized via a very nice piano soundfont. A live recording would fix a lot of the volume and velocity woes (keyboards emphasize certain notes funnily), but this will do until I can afford a Yamaha Disklavier… ;)
