Celebrating May

By May Howlett

Regular price $25.00 Sale

> A compilation of only some of the exceptional compositional works by May Howlett recorded over time by well-known Australian and International artists. A member of an audience once remarked that "her music always takes me on a journey", and this CD just does that.  Her writing seeks to enter into an experience or a concept, and to embody response to it with a 'voice' of the instrument or instruments. Although her music is basically lyrical, there is, often, according to Larry Sitsky, "a sting in the tail".

Cello Sonata

By Christopher Healey

Regular price $40.00 Sale

Cello and piano.

This four-movement cello sonata is an unabashed return to the days of long, lyrical melodies, idiomatic writing and nourishing harmonies.  There is something about the cello’s rich, singing tone that draws from me long lines and tender harmonies. It is a work written for friends and full of life, heart and earnest conviction.

  • Allegro con brio
  • Lento
  • Nocturne
  • Allegro Maestoso

Composed 2019

Century Volume I (2nd Edition)

By Larry Sitsky

Regular price $45.00 Sale

A set of 47 piano pieces for beginners. 2nd Edition, edited by Hannah Th'ng

The order of pieces is there not just for progression of difficulty, but for variety, challenge, inspiration as well. At one stage, the composer did sit down with one or more teachers and arrived at a purely subjective grading for each piece. As the composer claims, it will always be contentious, but at least indicates roughly the intent behind the ordering of the collection. Volume I includes mostly pieces for Prep - Level I.  See Volume II.
Composed 1990 revised 2024

Century Volume II (2nd Edition)

By Larry Sitsky

Regular price $45.00 Sale

A set of 52 piano pieces for intermediate grades, the second in the set of three volumes.  2nd Edition, edited by Hannah Th'ng.

These volumes address a serious artistic repertoire for beginning players, not just classical repertoire simplified. The only main-stream composer who has taken on such a task was Bartok with his MIKROKOSMOS, which gave the young pianist serious repertoire as well as drawing heavily on the folk-music sources which were close to Bartok's heart and compositional world. The order of pieces included is not just for progression of difficulty, but for variety, challenge, inspiration as well. As the composer claims that this will always be contentious, it at least indicates roughly the intent behind the ordering of the collection.  Volume two includes mostly pieces for Levels 1 to 4. (55 pieces in Volume II mainly - Levels 2/3- 5)
Composed 1990, rev. 2024.
