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.'.

This beautiful and nostalgic piece looks to musically illustrate a child moving from a beautiful baby to a maturing young adult. Written from the perspective of a parent witnessing and experiencing their child's growth, the music offers the listener, as well as the performer, an innocent melody that develops into a fully orchestrated piece. All voices within the ensemble actively help to create this feeling throughout the grade 3+ composition, including an optional percussion part that is designed to enhance the colors of the piece (wind chimes, glockenspiel, tam-tam, and suspended cymbal. The composition ultimately concludes by quoting the original melody and leading the listener to a peaceful place, dreaming of yesterday's memories. Each set includes three copies of the optional 3rd Violin/Viola T.C., and percussion parts. Duration ca. 4:25. Available in SmartMusic.

Based on material borrowed from two English folk songs that were popular in the Southern Appalachians during the early years of American history---Going to Boston and Soldier, Won't You Marry Me?. After a very peaceful and tranquil opening, a bold, powerful statement leads to a dreamlike, mesmerizing section. With a powerful percussion contribution, the driving conclusion resounds. An epic work, this is a striking addition to symphonic band literature. (4:45).
