For Children's Choir and Piano . Par PART ARVO. ‘I went to nursery school every day until the end of secondary school!’ Arvo Pärt says and pauses, staring slyly at his listener. ‘My mother worked at a nursery school in Rakvere, and I always went to visit her after my lessons.’ There, the future composer often sat at the piano and played or improvised for his little friends. Arvo Pärt is a composer best known for his 'tintinnabuli' compositions. It is a lesser-known fact that in his earlier years as a composer, he also wrote children's songs and piano pieces along with music for plays and animated films. This volume, 'Songs from Childhood', contains a selection of Arvo Pärt's music for children from the period 1956-1970. In those years he was involved with several children's studios and theatres as the piano accompanist and composer. Most of his music for children came about by way of improvisation in rehearsals and was only later completed and put on paper. These pieces therefore retain all the spontaneity and playful spirit in which they were created. 'Songs from Childhood' includes a CD of the same name, providing recordings of the songs with new and colourful instrumental accompaniments in the roiginal Estonian language for your enjoyment. These new accompaniments, which are also included as backing tracks on the CD, were arranged by the composer Tauno Aints in collaboration with Arvo Pärt. The sheet music of these arrangements is available on hire. The piano version doubles as a piano reduction. • 15 selected pieces for children‘s choir and piano written with all the spontaneity and playful spirit typical of Arvo Pärt‘s music for children • Includes a CD with full and sing-along versions of the songs • The recordings of the songs are in Estonian with new and colourful instrumental accompaniments by Tauno Aints in collaboration with Arvo Pärt/ Répertoire / Choeur d'Enfants et Piano

35 pieces on the quirky sideInstrument : pianoNombre de Pages : 56Fascinations is a volume of quirky juxtapositions and intriguing pieces of music. L?illet is cheek-by-jowl with Liszt, Schumann with Scarlatti and Sjögren. There are some fine newly-written miniatures, but also some extraordinary pieces by well-known composers, such as Mozart?s bizarre Funeral march of Signor Maestro Contrapunto or the unsophisticated music-making faithfully represented in Gounod?s Bagpipers and Tchaikovsky?s The peasant plays the mouth-organ. Dance movements by Telemann, Schubert, Rameau, Ji?ovec and Zilcher all have something unexpected or piquant about them, although they are technically straightforward and a joy to play.For intermediate-level pianists.Piano Moods is an exciting new piano series from Boosey and Hawkes. Each volume is devoted to a particular mood. The pieces chosen draw on Boosey and Hawkes' extensive collection of wonderful music as well as lesser-known gems from the past - some of them from surprising sources - and newly composed works.Content : Bartók: Melody with interruptions (from Mikrokosmos III) - Benda: Presto (from Sonata IX) - Prokofieff: Rain and the rainbow (from Musiques d'enfants op. 65 no. 8) - Heller: Vivace op. 47 no. 7 - Anonymus (early 17th century): Dance and Afterdance (from Klavierbuch der Jungfrau Regina Clara im Hoff) - Grieg: Siri Dale song op. 66 no. 4 - Binkerd: Country Dance - Liszt: Resignazione - Bartók: Scherzo (from Mikrokosmos III) - Telemann: Presto (from TWV 30:25) - Gurlitt: Impromptu op. 224 no. 5 - Mozart: Funeral March for Signor Maestro Contrapunto - Tchaikovsky: The peasant plays the mouth-organ (from Album pour enfants op. 39 no. 13) - Benjamin: Silent and soft and slow descends the snow -Davies: Piano piece no. 23 - D.
