Par ARCHER DARRELL. This collection consists of nine engaging piano arrangements of well and lesser-known gospel tunes in an arranging style reminiscent of Floyd Cramer. Pianistic ornaments and flair have been added without obscuring the original melodies. These selections are appropriate for church services, recital programs, informal gatherings, or simply as expressions of personal devotion. Suggested chords have been added to facilitate accompaniment by a partial or complete rhythm section. / Date parution : 2023-08-12/ Recueil / Piano

Music Minus One Cello-Written in 1941 Maurice Ravel's piano trio was premiered on January 28 1915 in Paris with distinguished pianist Alfredo Casella playing the piano part. Filled with Basque themes and Ravel's unique impressionist effects the four-movement trio is a wonderful piece which is in its own way reminiscent at times of his famous Gaspard de la Nuit. Highly recommended for any devotée of the famous French composer. Includes a high-quality printed solo part and a compact disc containing a complete performance with soloist then a second version with the accompaniment minus you the soloist. Performed by Alan Shulman violoncello Accompaniment: The Vardi Trio: Emanuel Vardi violin Edwin Hymovitz piano

Monsoon Toccata by Anthony Gilbert. 3'33'; for solo piano. In memoriam Janet Owen Thomas (1961-2002).'In 1988 Janet Owen Thomas met up with me in Sydney at the end of a short organ-recital tour - possibly her last before devoting herself entirely to composing. We returned to England together doing a rapid circular tour of Northern India on the way. Alighting from the plane at Delhi we were hit by the whirling wind and torrential rain of the seasonal monsoon and early the following morning there was also a minor earthquake.This experience determined the spirit of the music and Northern Indian Raga determines the purely technical approach withthe quasi-improvisatory toccatalike textures acting as decoration to a slow-moving widely-spaced modal top line which almost loses control of the overall shape at the mid-point - a reflection of the impact of those natural phenomena.'A.G.
