Simple Gift, A
By Betty Beath
Regular price
$10.00
Solo piano, c.2'40. Grade 5/6The work moves with an easy, relaxed tempo and the use of rubato is encouraged. Frequent changes in key structure occur and there is a continuing dialogue between the treble and bass lines. The composition is influenced by a folk song "Simple Gifts" but the work has its own character and moves freely with changes in melodic structure, tempo and dynamics. Composed 2016

Simple Gifts
By Houston Dunleavy
Regular price

SATB choir, Oboe, Trumpet and Strings, c.6'00
Shaker dance song by Elder Joseph Brackett, composed at Alfred, Maine in 1848
Complete words to the original song:
Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free,
'Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
'Twill be in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity is gain'd
To bow and to bend we shan't be asham'd,
To turn, turn will be our delight
'Till by turning, turning we come round right.

Simply Beautiful - CD
By Phillip Wilcher
Regular price
$25.00
Music by Phillip Wilcher, Jeanell Carrigan, pianist
"Born out of this world I came into, the greater awareness of being within the Truth of Who I Am is that the Cycle of Life is a Circle of Love. I feel it is that I have come full circle and in so doing, I have realised my every dream as well as many a dream Life itself has in store for me. The experience of expressing myself through music and words has been simply beautiful! To that end in this world within a world without end, and without any sense of pretence had I held the child I once was in my arms but to become him again. Therefore, where it has been said that creativity has a child's heart have I chosen to open and close this CD with two sets of pieces composed for children: Playmates and Connor's Capers. End pages which house the landscape of a life, what unfolds between their varying states of innocence is every shade of Love imaginable, from "moon mystic cedars touched by a pearly light" to bedouins praying at night, all aspects of the one divine face when eyes first saw." Phillip Wilcher
This CD is dedicated to the memory of his late father, Leslie James Wilcher.
