For 6 Hands At 1 Piano. Par CORNICK MIKE. '4 More Afro-Caribbean Pieces for 6 Hands at 1 Piano” is the second of two volumes of arrangements by Mike Cornick. Suitable for intermediate players, these 'trios”, are as light-hearted as you would expect, both of the music and the format. They will be excellent material for informal soirées, having fun at a weekend course or perhaps as an encore or finale of a piano class concert. The folk songs in each volume have been chosen for their lively rhythms and robust harmonies and each volume includes an original piece by Mike Cornick that draws on the styles and mannerisms of the region. Mike has provided fingerings to alleviate the inevitable collisions between the many hands in close proximity but says, after all, that is part of the fun. This volume includes: 'Brown Girl in the Ring”, 'Sloop John B”, 'Long Time Gal” and Mike's own 'Caribbean Escapade”.

Composed in 2013 this 4 minute piece for Piano Triet (one piano six hands) is based on a keyboard work that may have been written by Louis Couperin in the mid 1600s. Baroque ?bell pieces? were generally uniform in style and structure making composer designations problematic. The main theme is heard at the outset followed by a short set of variations. Ghosts of other composers drift in and out - Lully Paganini and Ravel adding a few notes here and there. The players are directed to perform with joyful Baroque energy gravitas and increasing brilliance.Carillons was written especially for John Pitts and the extraordinary Triet ensemble and isdedicated to Bill Maddocks. The source is Volume 1 of the Philidor Collection written in Philidor?s hand (Réserve F 494 pp.71-73: Paris Bibliotheque national).Carillons was premiered on 22 June 2014 in Colston Hall Bristol as part of the Severnside Composers Alliance Music on the Edge 2013-14 Series Piano Triets - 3 is the Magic Number 2.
