“How to make friends at the keyboard” might be the series title for Mike Cornick’s albums for 5 or 6 hands at one Piano! In this latest volume 4 Afro-Caribbean Pieces For 6 Hands Mike Cornick offers three traditional pieces “Jamaica Farewell” “Mary Anne” and “Yellow Bird” plus a piece of his own which perfectly captures the stylistic mannerisms of this very musical region. Cornick has suggested fingerings to help avoid the collisions inevitable with three players at one keyboard but he adds “it’s all part of the fun”! The second andterzo parts can be downloaded (free of charge) from the publisher’s website to aid private practice. These multi-hand pieces make great concert pieces especially as encores and you could also try: 5 Pieces for 5 Left Hands (UE21711) or 4 Afro-Caribbean Songs for 5 Right Hands (UE21649) as well as several other volumes for the more conventional six hands.

Written for one piano four hands this intermediate level ensemble collection was inspired by the composer's own experiences. Such titles as A Night in Moscow Montana Rodeo New England Getaway and other artistic pieces are sure to ignite the imagination of the performers to vividly portray these evocative musical images.

Pour récitant et piano à quatre mains-During the visit to Brive-la-Gaillarde in 1940 Poulenc sketched a little piece for the children of his cousins: Sophie Sylvie Benoit Florence and Delphine Périer Yvan Alain Marie-Christine and Marguerite-MarieVillotte and their two friends Marthe Bosredon and André Lecoeur. This took the form of a musical background to Jean de Brunhoff's popular illustrated children's story about Babar a baby elephant whose mother is killed by ahuntsman. Fortunately Babar meets a kind elderly lady who dresses him in a fine suit and gives him an impressive motor-car.However Babar feels homesick for his forests and is pleased when his cousins Arthur and Celeste find him and needs no persuasion to go home with them. Back in the forest where the King of the Elephants has eaten a poisonous mushroom Babar is elected to succeed as King. He marries Celeste and the last we hear of him isthinking of a rosy future as he dreamily looks up at a marvellously star-filled sky.Poulenc's score to which he returned and completed in 1945 is for a narrator and a Piano so written that the individualsections offer the pianist a number of self-contained descriptive pieces such as a Lullaby a Reverie a Galop a Nocturne and so on. Indeed some of Poulenc's finest Piano music isfound in these charming pages.In 1962 Jean Françaix made an orchestral version and Barbar has been enjoyed by children of all ages all over the world. An English translation of the text was made by Nelly Rieu.Thisparticular edition is arranged for Narrator and Piano duet (1 Piano 4 hands) and a separate insert with English translation is included.

These pieces have been composed especially for children of Grade 1-3 standard. All are written in a variety of simple keys and hand positions and most have the tune in both parts so there should be no arguments on the piano stool as to who plays what! The accompanying CD enables the pianists to hear and play along with their own part as well as playing along with the other part on the CD. This will prove invaluable to students practising at home as they will not require a duet partner every time.

Included are Leroy Anderson’s bouncy and happy Sleigh Ride beautifully contrasting Silent Night I Saw Three Ships Jingle Bells and a medley of four other favourites to surprise and delight all of course receiving Mike Cornick’s inimitable touch. For intermediate level players and beyond.The CD includes the complete performance of each duet as well as play-along rehearsal tracks for primo and secondo players.

Rhythmic and witty from the start Maine Mambo is as fun to listen to as it is to play.
