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.'.
