The clever title combines the word “quiet” with

“etude,” the French word for a musical study.
Inspired by the notion of world peace, the
e
e

composer communicates this idea through a

series of engaging melodic and harmonic sections
in G minor and D minor, ultimately ending on a
lU
r

major chord to express hopefulness. The haunting

melodies and mature sound of this grade 3 work
make this a memorable and thought-provoking
P
a

addition to any concert or contest.
