Par ARCHER DARRELL. The word gospel means ?good news,? so it is no surprise that many songs of faith are uplifting, rhythmic and exuberant. Such is the case with the fresh piano settings of the 9 well-known gospel songs in this collection. These country-style arrangements enable the pianist to offer upbeat music that sets hands to clapping and feet tapping.These creative settings are best suited to the intermediate to advanced player as a few of them feature syncopation, meter and key changes, and the left-hand, alternating bass note/chord pattern popularized by ragtime pianists. Suggested chords with all the right inversions and harmonies are provided should a backup guitarist and bassist wish to join you.Many moods?including commitment, assurance, devotion, dedication, praise, thankfulness, adoration, peace, and inspiration?are expressed through the medium of what is commonly referred to as southern gospel music. A natural outgrowth of these heartfelt emotions is the joy that is so evident in many of the tunes found in this collection, including: ?Glory to His Name?, ?Come and Dine?, ?The Lily of the Valley?, ?At Calvary?, and ?Unclouded Day?? all songs with uplifting purpose, bright tempos and catchy melodies that will engage musicians as much as their audiences. / Date parution : 2023-06-01/ Recueil / Piano

Par ARCHER DARRELL. When a prelude or offertory is played, it is obvious when the congregation occasionally gets ?swept away? and becomes intensely involved in the spirit of the music. Some may even begin to clap their hands in response to a favorite rhythmic hymn, gospel tune or anthem. With its messages of hope, resurrection and redemption, the music of the Easter season is a source of great joy and celebration for Christian believers. This collection presents the thrill and excitement of the Easter message through creative and engaging keyboard arrangements composed in the country/gospel style. Chord symbols are offered above the grand staff so that rhythm backup players can be included, and as an aid to those with improvising skills.While these melodies communicate the good news of the gospel, some of the arrangements are more subdued and reflective, while others are more energetic and upbeat. / Date parution : 2022-06-08/ Recueil / Piano

Author/arranger Devan Archer has added his own brand of challenging counterpoint. The ?Nashville Sound? has long been a presence in gospel, pop and rock music but appears here in a Christmas repertoire, perhaps for the first time. ?Good King Wenceslas? and ?God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen? have never swung so hard! Includes access to online electronic audio recording. / Date parution : 2021-12-09/ Recueil / Piano

Clara Schumann's Piano Notebook. This book presents seven piano solos that represent the wonderful variety of compositions by Clara Schumann. The brilliant ?Polonaise? was composed and performed by Clara as a child prodigy. The enchanting ?Prelude, Op. 16, No. 2?, and ?Romance, Op. 21. No.2? are both beautiful and suitable for many occasions. The joyful ?Mazurka? makes a great recital piece as well as ?Scherzo? in C minor. ?Nocturne in F, Op. 6, No. 2" is one of the most beautifully written nocturnes. Chopin once told Clara that she was the only woman in Germany that could play his music. She may have been inspired to compose this piece after performing many of Chopin's works in her concerts. The final piece in this collection of Clara Schumann?s Piano Notebook is her ?Theme and Variations?, which she dedicated to Robert Schumann. Robert composed and published many variations of his own on Clara's theme. Her own variations remained unknown until recently. These variations are very interesting, and the theme is easily recognizable throughout. ?Theme and Variations? truly showcases Clara?s unique sense of creativity. These piano selections are presented as examples of Clara Schumann's legacy?a great composer of the 19th century. Her music is timeless and must be preserved for future generations of pianists. This collection will be valuable for recitals, programs and your own enjoyment.
