"Bella ciao" ("Goodbye beautiful") is an Italian protest folk song that originated in the hardships of the mondina women, the paddy field workers in the late 19th century who sang it to protest against harsh working conditions in the paddy fields of North Italy. The song was modified and adopted as an anthem of the anti-fascist resistance by the Italian partisans between 1943 and 1945 during the Italian Resistance, the resistance of Italian partisans against the Nazi German forces occupying Italy, and, during the Italian Civil War, the Italian partisan struggle against the fascist Italian Social Republic and its Nazi German allies. Versions of "Bella ciao" are sung worldwide as an anti-fascist hymn of freedom and resistance.

Composed in April 2021, Three Folk Songs, are a re-working for folk melodies from the North East of England that explore the combination of folk with jazz and modal harmonies. The first, Waters of Tyne, has a lullaby quality that moves fluidly and dreamily throughout different keys. The second, Blow the Wind Southerly, has a more static harmony allowing the melody to unfold throughout the piece. The third and final movement of the collection, The Keel Row, is a fast dance played out over a repeating ostinato.

The piece was originally composed for vibraphone for Japanese percussionist, Mizuki Aita, and later transcribed for solo piano.

This is a set of two arrangements of familiar folk tunes from the British Isles..."Auld Lang Syne" and "Scarborough Fair." The arrangements incorporate more contemporary harmonies.

Ideal for school concerts or recitals, this pairs together a beginner playing split keyboard and intermediate player (or teacher) on piano. The traditional Scottish song is given a new treatment, allowing a beginner an impressive recital outing. The demo mp3 uses pan flute/soprano sax/harmonica and bass keyboard voices to demonstrate the effectiveness of the arrangement

Note that this is for piano and spit keyboard - a version from Ian Rae for 2 pianos is also available. 2018 Keyboard Contest Entry.
