Heavy Rock Metal Dancer meet the BaroQ Bear, The
By Gina Ismene Chitty
Regular price
$40.00
For piano, harpsichord, drums and cymbals, c.4'00
The BaroQ Bear is a character from the Grunewald (Green Forest) in Berlin of the the early 1700s. He habitually composes preludes, fugues and toccatas in abundance, conjecturing what he perceives as logical, balanced tonal relationships and brilliantly opposing thematic arguments. He time-travels to the twenty-first century and has an encounter with a long-haired young man carrying an electric guitar. He is astounded by the young man’s nonchalant demeanor.
As the young man begins to play rock music on his guitar, the Bear becomes increasingly perturbed by the illogical harmonic nuances in his musical output.
He seemed to be hammering out the same few notes and making a metallic noise which the BaroQ bear perceived as irritating and tediously wearisome. He speaks to the young man slowly and explains the logic of counterpoint, and a better way to create good music. The two of them play together, each in his own way, and finally, after a lengthy narration from the BaroQ bear, they merge and settle the score in an amicable manner.

Hexagonal Etude Augmentations
By Gina Ismene Chitty
Regular price
$20.00
For solo piano, c.8'30 Advanced level of difficulty. Composed 2021
Chosen for the Preliminary Round Recital in the International Piano Competition 2023 as a new Australian work.
Hexagonal Etude Augmentations opens with octaves and unfolds as approximately eight and a half minutes of unbroken music. There are many motivic ideas, the first, a jagged sparse and forceful opening theme in octaves which is followed by virtuosic passages built upon figural, motivic, rhythmic and technical flourishes that typically existed in nineteenth century etudes. Only fleetingly though, as passages that play on augmented intervals and octaves appear again and again, interspersed with technical innovations of a more contemporary style. The octaves and intervals sometimes dwell around hexagonal note formations, while the climactic cascading semiquavers interspersed with the augmented intervals transform into expressive cluster chords and complex rhythmic structures.
This is a technically demanding and virtuosic piece that requires precision of touch, a driving energy and vibrance.

Homage to Chopin
By Michael Hannan
Regular price
$20.00
For solo piano. Grade 7/8
Homage to Chopin is a three-movement work which explores some of the stylistic characteristics of Chopin. The first movement is influenced by the Berceuse in its decorative right-hand figurations and also to some extent by the harmonic structure of the Nocturne in D flat Op 27 No.2. Movement II is based on the textural idea of the Prelude Op 28 No. 4: i.e., repeated and gradually chromatically-changing left-hand chords accompanying a single line right hand melody. Movement III was inspired by my love of Chopin's Mazurkas, and refers particularly to Op. 17 No. 4, Op. 63 No. 2 and Op. 68 No. 4. Composed 1990

Homage to Peter
By Michael Hannan
Regular price
$15.00
For solo piano. Grade 6
Homage to Peter is in five short movements. The first has echoes of the theme music for the film, Burke and Wills; the second draws on the ambience of Koto Music I; the third acknowledges Peter's love of fourbar harmonic ostinati; the fourth, also ostinato-based, references his obsession with bird song; and the last derives from the harmonic and melodic ideas of Small Town.
