On Keys and Covers
By Christina Whiteley
Regular price
$28.00
The piano music composed in New South Wales during the nineteenth-century is a much neglected repertoire. Since the average pianist does not know much about it, the aim of this book is to bring to light some of the charming colonial piano pieces of yesteryear and show how this repertoire provides a valuable backdrop to life in colonial New South Wales and its importance for our Australian heritage.
The covers of many of the pieces are beautifully illustrated with pictures created by talented artists. When communication was not so instant and vast as today, colonial piano music was yet another means of broadcasting news. The reporting of what was happening in the colony belongs not only to the century in which the pieces were written but through time to the centuries beyond. To people living in this day and age, colonial piano pieces provides a commentary of the historical, political, economic, social and cultural scene of nineteenth-century New South Wales. They also show the origins of the Australian character in their narrative about settlers in the colony finding an identity in their new land and developing a sense of nationhood.

On the Run
By Alice Bannan
Regular price
$10.00
Piano solo, c.0'55. Early Grade
This energetic and flashy piece tells the story of an exciting escape, such as a mouse running away from a cat or a high-speed car chase through city streets. Both hands play matching chromatics which are only a semi-tone apart, giving the piece a distinctive, edgy sound. In On The Run, the student works their way across the whole piano keyboard, making it a fantastic performance piece.

Clarinet and piano, c.5'30, suggested grade 8Much of the piece has a driving rhythm which should be adhered to, however, there is a great deal of room for personal interpretation and rubato - performers should feel free to enter into the spirit of the piece, which has jazz overtones. Composed 1996

On to the field, our doom is sealed,
