Through six charming pieces, Zwilich captures the essence of the beloved characters, from Schroeder's love for Beethoven to Lucy's iconic antics. This suite is a playful and nostalgic addition to the album, showcasing Zwilich's ability to compose music that is both accessible and deeply expressive.
