Australian Women Composers' Piano Anthology Volume II
By Katie Zhukov
Regular price
$50.00
Grades Intermediate (5th) to Advanced (Dip.)
16 piano works by Wirripang-published, Australian Women Composers 2018.
Especially written and selected for this album as edited by Katie Zhukov and it includes a CD of each work recorded by Katie Zhukov.
This second volume of new piano repertoire by Australian women composers is a companion to the Australian Women Composers’ Piano Anthology (2015) published earlier by Wirripang.
Commissioning new work from established and emerging composers provides an opportunity for women’s voices to be heard in the Australian classical music arena that tends to be dominated by live and recorded performances of music by male composers. Introducing new generations of piano students to music by women composers helps drive the grassroots campaign for gender equality in Australian classical music.
The pieces vary in style from Romantic to contemporary, neo-classical, and jazz-influenced idioms.
Each work is accompanied by the composer’s biography, composer comments and pedagogical advice. The grading will assist teachers is choosing repertoire of appropriate difficulty for study and as extra lists for examinations.

Balmoral Beach Rag for solo piano
By Ann Carr-boyd
Regular price
$20.00
The Rag is descriptive and performer and listener will not find it difficult to relate the chromatic scales, the grace notes, the running and walking music, to the ever-new shock of entering the cold water; the warmth of the sand underfoot and the droplets of water gleaming on the ocean or on arms and legs of people at the beach.

Baroqua Rag, The
By May Howlett
Regular price
$15.00
The Baroqua Rag constitutes a nod at some of the technical features of Baroque composition, such as the pedal note, applied to the characteristic rhythmic patterns of the Rag, an early form of jazz. By using a well-known theme from JS Bach, arguably the greatest exponent of Baroque music, a link is formed to the concept of Bach, held by some, as a precursor of jazz techniques in his use of free ranging and inventive modulations based on chromaticism, for instance.

illusory swirling mist ....
