This plaintive Scottish tune was used extensively by Michael Nyman in his score for Jane Campion's film, The Piano. This arrangement offers young players an entrée into the rich breadth of Scottish folk music with a lilting dotted melody that is fun to play. With pizzicato and staccato accompaniments, this lyrical melody is passed around to every section of the orchestra. The lyrics tell of winter’s end giving way to bright flowers of spring, which the singer compares to his darling loved one. While playable in first position, more advanced students may practice playing in higher positions with ringing vibrato.

The guitar has so many moods and colors. I have always loved the expressive, lyrical pieces written for this unique instrument. This book is a collection of 19 solos of medium difficulty which present a colorful array of moods, harmonies and tonal textures. Each piece gives the guitarist ample opportunity for reflection, interpretation and expression. The solos should be played freely with maximum use of dynamics and tone color. The harmonies are rich and often contemporary. I hope you enjoy playing these compositions as I certainly enjoyed writing them.

Concert Band - Grade 5

SKU: ML.013015100

Solo for Piano and Band. Composed by George Gershwin. Arranged by Naoya Wada. Solo Concerts/Piano Solo and Band. Classic Arrangement. Full set. Molenaar Edition #013015100. Published by Molenaar Edition (ML.013015100).

George Gershwin used elements of classical music and jazz in this well known and loved work. The premiere of this piece was in Aeolian Hall in New York on February 12, 1924. Paul Whiteman led his big band, which was augmented with a string section, with the composer himself playing the piano solo. Gershwin improvised quite a lot during the concert as much of the music was yet to be written down on paper. The famous clarinet glissando in the opening was actually a joke from the clarinetist in the band, which Gershwin later wrote into the score.
