This is BOOK 1 in the "Blessings Abound" collections of Easy Piano Duets. The 12 songs in this collection of easy piano duets (1 piano, 4-hands) are arranged for a beginning student to play the PRIMO while the teacher or an intermediate student plays the SECONDO. All notes in the PRIMO are played singly with the hands in one position centered around middle C and then played one octave higher. The PRIMO and SECONDO parts are on separate pages (combined scores with PRIMO and SECONDO on each page are only available when purchased individually, not in this collection). The PRIMO part can also be played as a solo when played as written, centered around middle C.

These fun-to-learn arrangements are a welcome addition to the piano repertoire for beginning students and suitable for a first performance in a church setting. Selections in this first collection include a mixture of holiday themes (Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, and Birthday), familiar hymns and choruses, non-seasonal favorites and several originals. Lyrics are included on the PRIMO part. All the songs in this collection are also available separately and include preview pages and audio samples.

Songs and Dances of Atlantis for Piano Duet (Book 2)

Twenty elementary to intermediate piano duets - four hands on one piano.
The legend of Atlantis is one of the oldest and most enduring mysteries which remain in popular culture to this day. It has captivated the imaginations of people for centuries.
Songs and Dances of Atlantis (Book 2) follows on the first book and is a collection of ten fairly easy to intermediate level piano duets which celebrate this famous legend.
These duets would be ideal for any piano recital event especially in schools or colleges. They could be useful in the piano lesson for both sight-reading exercises and ensemble practice. Of course, ensemble playing is an essential element of musical development, though most piano students rarely get the opportunity to make music with others. Ensemble playing encourages the performers to listen to each other as well as themselves and it encourages them to ?keep together? rhythmically. Perhaps most importantly, it enables students to share musical decisions and work towards a common musical goal. Apart from that, playing duets can be great fun and can add an extra dimension to the piano lessons.
Most of the pieces contain short passages that offer opportunities for improvisation in the Primo part though rhythmic and harmonic guidelines are provided for those who require them. The Primo and Secondo parts are traditionally printed on separate sheets and the melodic material is shared between both parts. Book 2 contains the following titles: (1) Song from the Western Hills, (2) Twilight Dance, (3) Shepherd Song from Zanakh, (4) Circle Dance of the Elders, (5) Dance to the New Moon, (6) Midnight Dance from Khortakh, (7) Dance to the Air Spirits, (8) Zaronian Whirling Dance, (9) Slow Dance from the High Hills and (10)Village Dance from Kratah. The audio sample contains numbers 1, 2, 4, 5, 6,7 and 10.

Over the centuries, the music for piano duet, originally composed to the delight of 'connoisseurs and enthusiasts', has turned into a mature art form which is absolutely on par with the solo literature. This anthology offers piano four-hand pieces from the 18th to the 20th centuries and invites you to an exciting journey through time. The most beautiful and famous pieces of twenty different composers bring together a wonderful collection of piano duets - a treasure chest for playing in duet! In addition to classics by Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms and Grieg, rarely performed compositions by Robert Volkmann, Moritz Moszkowski, Paul Hindemith, Emile Naoumoff and others have been included.

This collection includes six hymn arrangements for piano duet (one piano, four hands). From the peaceful assurance of ?It Is Well with My Soul? to the rousing commitment of ?Called to Serve Medley,? each of these pieces is arranged beautifully to provide a memorable musical offering suitable for church services and other special occasions. Primo and secondo parts are fairly well balanced in difficulty and involvement, and for the most part are accessible to the intermediate pianist. ?Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing? is classified as late intermediate because it offers some more advanced rhythmic challenges and creative meter changes. 59 pages.


1. How Great Thou Art

2. The Spirit of God

3. A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief

Fifteen well-known hymns

Here are 15 duets for piano and organ for a variety of occasions throughout the church year. There are selections for Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving and general occasions. These settings are derived from Joel's popular series of "Worship Openers." While the "Worship Openers" are extended works that include optional handbells, choir, and sometimes brass, these arrangements have been condensed and modified in order to make them more accessible for busy church musicians who are looking for exciting preludes, offertories, and special music. Two books are needed for performance.

This collection includes six creative arrangements for piano duet (one piano, four hands) to celebrate Christmas at the keyboard.

Primo and secondo parts are fairly well balanced in difficulty and involvement, and are accessible to the intermediate pianist. 73 pages. To conserve space and enhance readability during performance, the book is formatted with primo and secondo parts separated onto facing pages.

These are 12 original and ambient flute and piano duets with a different piece for every major key beginning with C major and each number moving a half step higher till number 12 in B major. These are all relaxing and romantic composition in quiet and calm styles and are somewhat a set of etudes encouraging the violinist and pianist to play similar styles in some keys that that may not be favorites. However, professional musicians have to play in every key and students would be well served play all and not avoid certain keys. All of these have piano tracks that may be used for performance or rehearsal and can be found under "Quietude No. 1 Piano Track" and just changing the number to find the right track. The MP3 is of No. 1 while the YouTube link is of number 9 in A flat major. There are separate flute parts for every piece. Most of the piano parts as seen can also serve as stand alone solos. This book is also available for violin and piano solo. James Michael Stevens is a prolific composer residing in Nashville, TN and serves as the Music Department Chairman of Welch College.
