Notes: Kenric writes, ” This tune is not really meant to be played at dance tempo. It comes across to me as more of a tune to think about.  The inspiration for the title is a Danish church, “den Tilsandende Kirke,” which has been mostly buried by shifting sand dunes in Skagen, Denmark. I came to this eerily beautiful place in 2005, and find myself meditating on the memory every time I play this tune.”
