Shimmer is a calm, reflective piece that is reflected by the meaning of the word itself: to shine with a subduedflickering light, as in a reflection on water. The main melody is simple and repeated several timesthroughout, each time mixed with various harmonies, contrapuntal techniques, rhythmical figures, or countermelodies, to keep the music interesting for performers and listeners.

The melody starts immediately at the opening of the piece in Part 1, with gentle accompaniment in Parts 2and 5. At measure 9, motion is added by the constant eighth note figure in Part 2. This figure is to be playedflowingly and carefully, ensuring that the piece doesn’t rush.

A counter melody is introduced at measure 21. It is important that the new material is heard to keep themusic interesting, but the main melody must not be covered up.

The contrasting melodic material is finally introduced at measure 29 and includes elements of a pop ballad,as if it were the bridge leading to the final chorus of a song. The feeling is to be powerful throughout thesection and quickly die, leading up to the final playing of the main melody at measure 37.
