Jazz Chords On Piano -2 by Tormod Vinsand (2017). This book is a follow-up on Jazz Chords on Piano (WH32971) and it is definitely an advantage if you have familiarised yourself with the techniques and terms used in Jazz Chords on Piano . There are many ways in which to play jazz on a piano. In Jazz Chords on Piano I describe some guidelines for how to prepare accompaniment and melody playing, but admittedly, there are of course many other ways to play or other techniques to use. In Jazz Chords on Piano - 2 I have chosen to focus on four typical techniques: Part 1 - Playing Arpeggio in left hand Part 2 - 4-stacked chords in a piano movement Part 3 - Left-hand chords Part 4 -Overlying triads when accompanying To illustrate the various techniques, I have made compositions that are stylistically adjusted so that the various techniques make musical sense and are playable. (Tormod Vinsand) Tormod Vinsand (born 1958) has a Master's Degree in Musicology from University of Copenhagen. Since 1988 Tormod has been a jazz piano lecturer at The Rhythmic Music Conservatory, Copenhagen, The Institute of Musicology at University of Copenhagen, and the Royal Danish Academy of Music, Copenhagen. The material you fi nd in this book has been used at the above three educational institutions and is primarily targeted to music students that do not have the piano as their primary instrument at these schools. But others may also benefi t from this book, provided you have an elementary theoretical background in music. Since 2013 Tormod has also been Music School Manager at the Rødovre School of Music.

Composed in 1976, the piano work 'Litaniae alla cinque' of the composer from Cologne refers to the famous fifth chapter of the Epistle of James in which the vanity of riches is described in drastic words: 'Come now, you rich people, weep and wail for the miseries that are coming to you. Your riches have rotted, and your clothes are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver have rusted, and their rust will be evidence against you, and it will eat your flesh like fire.' Putz musically incorporated the formal structure of the litany with its stereotypical repetitions and prayer formulas and used chants and bell sounds, thus creating an unusual and impressive piece for piano - a plea for more justice in the world.

The music Herbert Howells has tended to be unjustly neglected but his post-war output of orchestral and chamber works is currently enjoying a period of re-eveluation. This Herbert Howells society edition of six pieces brings to light yet another aspect of his work, namely his Piano music. Even though he was an accomplished pianist himself, music for Piano did not figure highly in his output. This volume contains some charming character pieces in the form of six Sarum Sketches, two slow dances based on tunes from John Playford's The Dancing Master, an extrovert piece based on a folk tune, a minuet composed as a birthday present for John Ireland, a brief vignette and an exquisite miniature. Of the six pieces in this volume, three appear in print for the first time.

The pieces contained in this volume were composed in the decade between 1918 and 1928, the perios in which Howells established himself as a composer of instrumental music. Although he wrote no major work for the Piano, hecontributed some finely crafted and charming miniatures to the repertoire of character pieces popular in the early part of this century.

This is fine music, idiomatically written for the Piano, which fully justifies itsreturn to circulation in this reprint.
