This week on The Piano Pedagogy Playlist, we follow the shimmering path of the aurora across four imaginative works—all sharing the same title: “Northern Lights.” Inspired by last week’s unusually widespread auroral displays across North America, we explore how four different composers translate this natural wonder into sound, each through their own musical lens.

Four pieces with the same title and the same inspiration— Northern Lights.
