    Mysterious Flowers

    By Michael Hannan

    Regular price $10.00 Sale

    Piano solo

    The first movement burst into bloom, so to speak, from a discarded fragment I had composed years earlier in 1979 while I was trying to get ideas for a short ensemble piece written as a fiftieth birthday tribute to Peter Sculthorpe.
    The second movement, dedicated to Ross Edwards, also sprung unexpectedly from material that had lain dormant for some time. The initial chordal idea, and the mysterious tones spread right across the keyboard, were left over textures from my Three Meditations for Dane Rudhyar (1984); and the high arpeggiated chordal idea is a mutation of the call of the magpie lark,... 
    The third movement, dedicated to Lucinda (aka Helen) Edwards, appeared from nowhere like a desert flower after a storm. I was improvising at Lucinda's piano in Paddington, while I was waiting for a delayed flight to Bali, when the piece materialised from the tones of Messiaen's second mode of limited transposition (also known in jazz theory as the diminished scale). 
    Composed 1998

    Mythweaver

    By Kevin March

    Regular price $45.00 Sale

    A cycle of six songs for soprano and piano.
    The 2009 Dorian Le Galliene Prize commissioned work.

    The poetry of Sappho has come to us, down through the centuries, primarily through three means: 1) one complete poem, 2) fragments surviving on papyrus, and 3) citation by other authors in instances where the original has been otherwise lost.  We know also of a few other lost works which were mentioned by other writers but not quoted, leaving us with the knowledge of their existence but nothing of their content.

    The poetry in this cycle is drawn from citations (Stars Around the Full Moon and Lady Dawn) and fragments (Beautiful Things).  Two of the texts (The Moon Has Set, and Sweet Oil) are the result of combining citations with fragmentary texts of similar theme and tone.   The brackets indicate places where the text has been lost.

    In composing Mythweaver, I wanted to find a way of depicting these lost words, or to put it another way, this voice whose words have been lost.  Wanting neither to simply ignore the gaps in the text nor to force upon the singer and listener text that wasn’t Sappho’s, I sought a third option.  (Kevin March)

    Composed 2019

      • I  Stars Around the Full Moon, c.1'40
      • II The Moon Has Set, c.2'15
      • III Sweet Oil, c.3'00                                                                                                       
      • IV Beautiful Things, c.1'20
      • V Lady Dawn, c.1'30
      • VI Yes Radiant Lyre!, c.2'10

      Nailing Scaling

      By Jocelyn E Kotchie

      Regular price $0.00 Sale

      AVAILABLE ONLY AS DIGITAL DOWNLOAD

      Nailing Scaling presents an alternative and somewhat holistic approach to the teaching of scales, triads and arpeggios, building and encouraging genuine conceptual understanding of the patterning inherent in the scales around the cycle of fifths and guiding the student to use logic in their approach to fingering.

      Ultimately intended as a guide for teachers, Nailing Scaling may also be useful for older, experienced students who would like to take a more proactive role in their approach to these staples of the pianist’s technical repertoire.

      Diagrams and Video links throughout the book guide teachers through the process of teaching each new concept.

      For ease of accessing, each new section is linked from the 'Contents' pages.
