for two pianos | 6' | Overture/Rondo is a transcription and rearrangement of the third and final movement of my Concerto for Piano and Small Orchestra. The original soloist’s role has now been re-distributed, alternating between the two pianists, and other such adjustments have been made to more equitably divide the music. In the Concerto, there is a considerably longer cadenza […] | ||||
for solo piano | 3' 59" | This solo piano setting of the beloved Christmas carol applies fresh and distinctive harmonies to the traditional melody. A haunting, and slightly dissonant, introduction sets a contemplative mood that heralds a unique approach to the carol. Set in ABA form, the A sections contain lush harmonies and delicate lyrical phrases which contrast with the syncopated […] | ||||
for solo piano | 15'30" | A compelling set of tonal/modal piano miniatures meant to be played as a freely ordered group of pieces and encouraging the free interpretation of the pianist. | ||||
for solo piano | 30' | A gallery of both real and imagined aural postcards in a largely neo-impressionist style, including pieces for contemplation, comic episodes, and bravura performances. I. Chrysanthèmes II. Chevraux III. Au Pic de Bugarach IV. Hirondelles au Crépuscule V. Kermesse Villageoise VI. Entr’acte These pieces may be performed as a set or individually, and the series will […] | ||||
for solo piano | 5'17" | A melancholic ‘offering’ for the gifted London-based composer, pianist, and teacher, Phil Best, with a small twist hidden among the bouquets. | ||||
for solo piano | 4'30" | A short fantasy inspired by the story of Beren and Lúthien Tinúviel from J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Silmarillion. Beren, lost and wandering in the Forest of Neldoreth, secretly observes Lúthien, ‘the most beautiful of all the Children of Ilúvatar,’ dancing in the glades of the forest, and is bound to her for life. | ||||
for solo piano | 7' | These small doodles, or ‘paper improvisations,’ if you will, began as just that—scribbles that went down in one sitting, without the usual planning devoted to so much of my preceding music for solo piano. As such, they probably sound much different from the Aquarelles or even the more ‘open’ Piano Set, and the player may […] | ||||
– | This music is an arrangement of the hymn section within Jean Sibelius’ famous tone poem Finlandia. Cast in flowing sixteenth notes, the melody soars above the harmonization that offers up some beautiful surprises. This would make an excellent special piece for a church service, in a recital or as an encore. The subtitle refers to […] | |||||
for solo piano | 4'30" | Fun, light, and energetic, this music evokes a lively folk dance, like a jig or gigue. While it is definitely a contemporary piece, it does keep some of the characteristics one would expect from this kind of Baroque Suite movement. The middle section contains some counterpoint of the new melody, and toward the conclusion I […] | ||||
for solo piano | 3'20" | “Kate & David” is the main theme of Kurt Kuenne’s score for his documentary “Dear Zachary: a letter to a son about his father”, which chronicled the life and death of his late best friend, Dr. Andrew David Bagby; this theme is meant to encapsulate the enduring love and strength of Andrew’s devoted parents, Kate […] |
