Twenty-one wedding preluldes, processionals, solos, and recessionals

An extensive collection with preludes, processionals, solos, and recessionals.Includes Bach's Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring; Wagner's Bridal Chorus; Beethoven's Hymn to Joy, as well as The Gift of Love and many others.

In my arrangement of Edvard Griegs piano- piece ?Weddingday of Troldhaugen? from the ?Lyric Pieces? I have simplified some passages, for example the many very large chords with an amplitude of a decime. Not every piano player has such big hands as Grieg probably had ;-) Also I simplfied this "Off Beat Rhythm" between left and right hand in the middle of the piece (page 3).Nevertheless, this is no ?Easy Piano? version, because I didn´t want to ?destroy? Griegs beautiful music. I kept the form, length and character of the original piece.

Music essences were inspired by the idea of developinga piano book that is not a piano school but offers new pieces next to the oldclassics. So you can expand your repertoire for every occasion.

The title describes the pieces as very compressedmusic ideas, or even impressions. They can be musically developed and expandedin mind. Even extended interpretations are conceivable, both in playing and interms of instrumental arrangement.

Waltz No. 1

This Piano Sonata in G major has a light, liltingmelody and a midsection that underscores the style of a waltz. It is a verylively and dynamic piece. The mood is enhanced by a few diffuse moments, whichsupports the arc of suspense.

Impromptu

Based on Franz Schubert, this impromptu is inspired bythe trio of the fourth part of Opus 90 from 1827. The style has been expandedand reinterpreted with modern elements. The theme increases to the upperoctaves and culminates in a new theme in the midsection. It ends with a solemnmood.

Summer

Originally it is the theme of my first symphony forchorus and orchestra, third Movement. In this arrangement for piano, it is themelody that is intensively underlined and expressed.

2nd Intermezzo

In the beginning this piece is like a nocturne byFrederic Chopin, But the midsection is based on the midsection of the secondintermezzo, opus 118 by Johannes Brahms from 1893. Mood, harmony and style ofthe midsection are also inspired by the soundtrack from "PearlHarbor" by Hans Zimmer.

This collection of intermediate piano solos includes 20 arrangements of favorite classical pieces frequently used for weddings. All the songs in this collection are well-suited for processionals and recessionals of the ceremony participants (bride, groom, bridesmaids, groomsmen, parents/family, flower girl, Bible boy, ring bearer, etc.). Several of these songs can also be used as part of the prelude, as interludes during candle-lighting, or as background music for a reception.

These arrangements were created to make challenging classical music more accessible for the intermediate player or easier to sight-read by more advanced players (comes in handy when asked to perform on short notice). Another feature of these arrangements is they are consistent at the intermediate to advanced-intermediate skill level throughout each piece. Many have been simplified and only include excerpts from the longer original movements. Other simplified characteristics include easier key signatures, timings, and fingerings and some melodies were modified to create a more contemporary sound.

Each of the 20 arrangements is also available separately with accompanying preview pages and audio samples.

Originally for piano and orchestra, I have carefully arranged the beautiful romantic themes of this piece for solo piano. I have combined the orchestral textures with the piano solo to bring them together as a cohesive piece. There is no stretches greater than an octave, and the part is heavily reduced from the original-but the piece still falls into advanced intermediate as I have kept the passion (just less notes!) Each section could easily be used as a separate piece.
The full score is 11 pages and it is nearly10 minutes long- for full suitability on level of difficulty, the youtube link provide the full score- I wanted to give opportunities for pianists to play an easier version of this fabulous piece. I made the recording live on a digital piano, with technology to enhance.
Great for valentine's day, weddings, anniversaries, romantic events, it's a firm favourite with lots of people as the themes are so memorable- just fantastic to play.

This book contains all seven of the songs on the Rachel's Song album arranged and performed by Gary Prim. Every song has been meticulously transcribed, note-for-note from the recording. These soothing, relaxing songs, beginning with Rachel's Song, are great for piano recitals, instrumentals during worship services, weddings, and just personal enjoyment. Play the sample audio to hear a sample of Rachel's Song as you preview the sheet music.

A flowing marriage of the hands that transports both pianist and listener to the blissful marathon that is the wedding day. This piece began as a simple melody to which a counter melody was added, then flipped above the original melody line and divided between the hands. It's breathless pace relaxes towards the end, as the complexity thins to the original melody and simple harmony to accompany the bride down the aisle. A lovely piece suitable for your special day! 2 Pages. Requires advanced pedalling skills. Learn more about me at www.verymarypianostudio.com
