Piano Solo - Moderately Difficult

Composed by Scott Joplin. This edition: French Edition. Classique. Anacrouse. Partition Biographie Notes sur l'oeuvre. Score. Editions Bourges #EBR-A039. Published by Editions Bourges (BU.EBR-A039).

ISBN 9790560151106. 8.58 x 12.48 inches.

La collection ANACROUSE offre aux pianistes novices et confirmés un large choix d’œuvres classiques, allant de la Renaissance à l’époque moderne.

Proposer tout à la fois des « incontournables  Â» du répertoire classique et des pièces de compositeurs parfois oubliés, toutes d’une valeur pédagogique indéniable, tels sont les objectifs que nous nous sommes fixés. Chaque pièce, vendue à l’unité, a fait l’objet d’un travail éditorial attentif, tant sur le plan de l’établissement du texte musical que de sa gravure, afin de garantir aux musiciens les conditions indispensables aux plaisirs tirés du commerce fréquent de ces Å“uvres.

Les partitions sont proposées sous la forme d’ouvrages traditionnels (feuillets papier), et disponibles également par téléchargement.



La publication par l'éditeur John Stark de sa pièce mémorable Maple Leaf Rag en 1899 marque le début de son succès et codife la structure formelle du Ragtime classique. Considérée comme l'oeuvre majeure de Scott Joplin, elle s'avère de nos jours concurrencée par The Entertainer écrit par le même compositeur en 1902 et rendu célèbre en 1974 par le film « L'Arnaque ». Dans The Entertainer, Scott Joplin essaye d'enrichir le ragtime classique par une structure rythmico-harmonique de la basse et établit des liens motiviques entre les différents airs, ce qui parfois, dans l'organisation de l'écriture semble extrêmement complexe.
Même si le ragtime obéit à des règles strictes dans le tempo et le rythme, The Entertainer par son air dynamiquement enthousiasmant exalte une flamme incandescente dans l'âme de l'interprête.

UPC: 241444419632. English.

Appropriat ely named, this colorful piece is a tone poem that evokes the earth awakening to spring. The lush harmonies exploit the full range of the keyboard with frequent modulations to new keys. The thematic material is seamlessly woven into both parts. Often the primo and secondo hands are very close to each other. The composer includes short phrases above the staff such as swaying branches, fragrant rain, and flowers blooming plus others to depict the various sense of spring. Good piece for an experienced duet team.

ISBN 9790570500192.

Sara h Baker is Vocal Composer in Residence at Education Music Services, an ABRSM examiner and a well known composer of songs and musicals for primary schools and massed-choral events.

All this experience has come together in the creation of this first published album of piano pieces, inspired by the sounds heard at night from the woodland just beyond Sarah’s childhood home.

Suitable for players of around grade 4-5 standard, her evocative sound pieces begin at the tranquillity of dusk and end with the exuberant dawn chorus.

The composer writes:

'I grew up with woods behind my house, and the nocturnal noises and images that I remember were the inspiration for these eight short sound pictures on the theme of night. The music moves first from the tranquility of dusk and evening mists, to the emerging starlight of twilight. As night falls it takes on on a darker quality with shadows and dreams disturbing peace and calm.The night birds and bats swoop and flit past as they seek their prey, but gradually dawn approaches and peaceful sleep is restored. The morning is heralded in the joyful exuberance of the dawn chorus.'.

ISBN 9790570500192.

Sara h Baker is Vocal Composer in Residence at Education Music Services, an ABRSM examiner and a well known composer of songs and musicals for primary schools and massed-choral events.

All this experience has come together in the creation of this album of piano pieces, inspired by growing up in the Chiltern Hills. Suitable for players of around grade 4-5 standard, her evocative sound pieces describe a crash-landing hot air balloon, garden invading cows and a even a snake in a pond!

Air Balloon!: One vivid memory I have as a child is of the day that a hot air balloon passed over our house and made an emergency landing on the road in front! The sound of the gas being blown into the balloon to try to keep it high enough to pass the house sounded so loud and intimidating, and then there was the bustle of the neighbours as we all went out into the street to watch. It was both terrifying and exhilarating to watch the balloon float past and then land so near by.

Buzzards Circling: There is something so calming and restful about watching birds of prey circling in the thermal currents of a summer sky. Growing up in the Chilterns gave me plenty of opportunity to watch buzzards and red kites. This piano solo captures the beauty of their flight as they glide so effortlessly through the air.

There’ s A Cow In The Garden Eating The Flowers: Inspired by the memory of seeing an unexpected cow in the garden! This surreal image is captured in a quirky waltz, as I portray both the absurdity of the moment and the sense of wonder I felt as a child, looking out of the window and seeing the cow walking round and eating the flowers. The final phrase articulates my longing: ‘I wish it would come again’.

Wat ching The World Go By: A short, reflective piece, remembering what it was like to have time to just sit and watch the world go by from my bedroom window.

Autumn Skies: A miniature about the beauty of Autumn skies and the poignant sense of loss for a summer gone. Friends I was fortunate to have several children of my own age living close by. We seemed to be forever making dens, playing out in the street and generally enjoying each other’s company. This piece reflects that sense of well-being.

Snake In The Pond: One hot summer I was astonished and scared to see a grass snake cooling off in our garden pond! I watched, both horrified and fascinated, as it rose up from the depths and then disappeared again. Here I portray the sense of the hazy summer afternoon as I peacefully watched the tiny movements of fish in the pond, contrasted with the fear and excitement of seeing the snake appear.

Morning Commute: I recollect many mornings stuck in traffic as my Dad took me to school on his way to work. There is one main road out of the village where I grew up, and that got more and more congested the closer we got to the town. We may not have chatted a lot, but it was always good to be together with my Dad, lost in our own thoughts.

The Witch’s Cottage: My siblings and I had a fascination with a small cottage nearby. It was set back from the road in a dark part of the woods and we called it 'the witch's cottage’. Every time we passed, I imagined I heard the distant cackle of the witch and wished I could catch a glimpse of her.

These pieces are written to complement my other collection, Night Time Impressions, which also draw on childhood recollections, particularly of the woods behind the house where I grew up. - Sarah Baker 2023.

ISBN 9790570504169.

Cyri l Scott’s music is currently the subject of major revival, having lain largely ignored for much of the 20th Century. Once described as 'the father of modern British music' by Eugene Goossens, and admired by Claude Debussy, Richard Strauss, Igor Stravinsky and his lifelong friend Percy Grainger, he composed four hundred works including: four Symphonies, three Operas, two Piano Concertos, four Oratorios, Concertos for Violin, Cello, Oboe and Harpsichord, several Overtures, Tone Poems, many Chamber works and innumerable songs.

There is a story that when Bernard Shaw commented to Elgar on the (then) daring harmonies of his Second Symphony Elgar replied 'You mustn’t forget, it was Cyril Scott started all that!'.

'a pioneer of British piano music, producing more piano works in the period 1903-1914 than any other British composer and any other international one, with the exception of Scriabin... (He) was a key figure before World War I in helping Britain to break away from musical conservatism and the prevailing Germanic influences.' (Lisa Hardy, The British Piano Sonata 1870-1945).

We all have experienced devotion at varying levels of intensity within our lives. Sometimes it is temporary, but in other cases it is lasting and perhaps even permanent.Devotion can be directed toward an idea, a purpose, plan, pet or person, a concept, a sport or hobby, a philosophy, or a feeling or relationship, but we all have known it in some measure.It can be so pathetically shallow as devotion to an object or possession, but its highest expression is found in devotion to the most noble of lasting and eternal values and in pursuit of knowing the awesome Creator of the universe- - - God himself. Hopefully, these piano pieces will inspire a greater measure of devotion from each of us.

This grand piano solo was commissioned by the Wyoming Federation of Music Clubs. It is descriptive not only of the Rocky Mountains, but is also a tribute to majestic mountains everywhere. Opening with a peaceful introduction in 4/4 time, the sound quickly becomes expansive in its use of the a wide keyboard range and the melody played in octaves. Quickly played hand-over-hand arpeggios follow perhaps suggesting turbulent white-water streams. A contrasting Reflective middle section in 6/8 time suggests rest in the midst of the beautiful scenery. The A section returns before a flashy, alternating-hands chordal ending. A dramatic conclusion to any recital or festival.

This dramatic 10-page solo was commissioned by the Richmond, Virginia Music Teachers Association in honor of their 50th anniversary. The James River has always been important to life in Virginia, flowing 340 miles from the Appalachian Mountains to Chesapeake Bay. Following the big sounds of the introductory fanfare in 4/4 time, the melody (marked Flowing swiftly), appears in 6/8 time, richly accompanied by arpeggiated LH harmonies. Later in the piece, the hands switch roles, with RH broken chords over a LH treble melody. Hand-over-hand arpeggios follow, adding to the visual impression to the performance. The music returns to 4/4 time before concluding in a similarly dramatic fashion as found in the opening of the work. A true showpiece for late-intermediate level students and performers!
