Easy Piano - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.835165 Composed by Cody Weinmann. Concert,Instructional,Standards. Score. 1 pages. Cody Weinmann #6136261. Published by Cody Weinmann (A0.835165). This piece is a short piece for Easy piano that introduces students to mixed meters. I know that this may be a bit early in the game for students to learn this, but I believe it's good to have them take these things to mind a bit earlier. The goal is to get them to memorize reading the notes (the note names are included in the note heads), rhythms, and changes in the time and melody. It could be a good repertoire piece presenting a bit of a challenge for beginners, but they can do it!

Pace is part of The Cornucopia Series; it is No. 4 in it. The word Pace was actually taken from the Italian word for peace. Hopefully, this composition will be peaceful for any beginner who wants to play it. The Cornucopia Series is going to be designed as beginner compositions that are easier than nursery rhymes. Mr. Lewis has noticed that some piano students have difficulty playing nursery rhymes, and Pace and The Cornucopia Series are supposed to be easier than those songs. If you decide to purchase this, perhaps you could even tell Mr. Lewis what your experience has been teaching this to your student or child.

Piano - Digital Download Music from the last movement of the Ninth Symphony. Composed by Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827). Arranged by Herbert von Karajan. This edition: Sheet music. Downloadable. Schott Music - Digital #Q2455. Published by Schott Music - Digital
The European Hymn is the hymn not only of the European Union but of Europe in a broader sense. The melody has been taken from the Ninth Symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven from 1823.
In the last movement of this symphony Beethoven set music to the 'Ode to Joy' by Friedrich von Schiller from 1785. This poem sprang from Schiller's idealistic vision of men who become brothers - a vision Beethoven shared with him.
In 1972 the Council of Europe adopted Beethoven's 'Ode to Joy' as its anthem. The well-known conductor Herbert von Karajan was commissioned to arrange three instrumental versions - for solo piano, wind orchestra and symphony orchestra. Without words, in the universal language of music, the anthem is an expression of the idealistic values of freedom, peace and solidarity which Europe stands for.
In 1985 the heads of state and government adopted the hymn as the EU's official anthem. It does not replace the national anthems of the member states, but rather celebrates common values as well as unity in diversity.
The score of this offical anthem is exclusively available from the Schott publishing house.
