Nonna mi l'ha detto
By Michael Atherton
Regular price
$15.00
Solo piano, c.4'30. Certificate level Nonna mi l'ha detto (Nanna told me so). The music builds on a theme suggestion nostalgia in the voice of a grandmother sharing her life story with her grandchild. The restatements of motivic material are like reminiscences. These give way to a dance section modelled on the calata from in early Renaissance Italian lute music. Here, as a coda to reminiscence, the calata implies the spontaneity of the child in taking Nonna's hand in a dance.
Recorded by Antonietta Loffredo in Childhood in Music (Wirr 042) available online.

Nostalgia CD
By Jeanell Carrigan
Regular price
$25.00
Jeanell Carrigan (piano)Alfred Hill, the Australian composer is reputed to have said “To me there are only two kinds of music - good or bad. All old music has at one time been modern and all modern music will one day become old so why worry? Time is a great critic that puts them in their place”.
The piano compositions on this recording have been deliberately chosen because of their beauty, their inherent musicality, the craft and skill of the composers and their appeal to the listener. Not considered in their selection was any decision based on whether the style was the fashion at the time of their composition. All of the composers on this recording are Australian women who were born between 1862 and 1915.
To support this recording, Dr Jeanell Carrigan has researched and compiled three volumes of scores of these and additional piano works, most of which have not previously been published. These volumes, together with individual CDs, are available online.

By Richard Peter Maddox

$12.00
Solo piano, c.2:30. Grade 6It suggests a duet performed by a courting couple—specifically Beatrice and Benedick from Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing. The melodic lines representing the two characters need the lively dialog between them while final descending passage of stacked fourths can be thought of as a peal of wedding bells.

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.

For piano, c.2'40. Advanced level of difficulty
This is a Jazz Rock piece with a propulsive driving force, heavily imbued with the aesthetics and techniques of contemporary classical piano music and jazz.
