Extra Information | I wrote this piece for a very nice girl who briefly played the piano for our church youth group. She had large, beautiful brown cow's eyes and used to be called "Moo Moo" by children. Moo Moo turned into Mimi when she got older. The text is from Shakespeare, "Venus and Adonis" (1593) lines 596 and 597. |
