Par JONES STEPHEN. This is not just another book of Irish session tunes. It represents the relatively unknown repertoire of a single Irish traditional musician, Packie Manus Byrne of Donegal. There has been considerable interest in the music of Donegal over the past 10 years or so, especially with the rise of groups such as Altan. Packie Manus Byrne is a familiar name to traditional-music lovers in Ireland and the UK, where he enjoyed a successful career as a folk performer for more than 20 years. Almost all these tunes were being played in Packie's home area between 1925 and 1935 - the collection is thus something of a 'time capsule' with a unity of origin and style that sets it apart from other collections. The 85 genuine old traditional tunes are being made public for the first time. This unique collection, with all the background information and stories, gives the reader a real sense of the community out of which the music came and the characters who played it. Suitable for fiddle, tin whistle, flute and other traditional instruments. The CD includes 33 of the tunes performed by Jean Duval, Stephen Jones, Johanne St. Laurent, Lynda Dowker, and Reinhard Görner on a variety of instruments. / Niveau : Débutant à Intermédiaire / Celtic/Irish - Songbooks / Recueil / Tout Instrument

A Ragtime two-step-Everyone knows and loves this most famous of rags by Scott Joplin - the father of ragtime.

Music Minus One Piano Deluxe 2-CD Set-Together in one package Music Minus One brings you two of nineteenth-century Russia's greatest works for piano and orchestra Rimsky-Korsakov's Piano Concerto (1883) and his protege Anton Arensky's Fantasia on Russian Folksongs for Piano and Orchestra (1899). Both of these short concerted works are single-movement fantasias on Russian folk themes filled with the thunderous orchestrationa and big Russian sounds one associates with Imperial Russia. Both of these works present a perfect opportunity for the pianist or advancing student who wants to tackle a big Romantic-era concerted work but may not be ready for the full-scale concerto. With their relatively short lengths and onlymoderately-difficult piano parts they give the thrill of full-scale performance with significantly less investment than would be otherwise possible with longer works. This Music Minus One edition includes a CD containing the complete performance of the concerto in digital stereo a second digital stereo version of the concerto minus the soloist voluminously indexed for ease of practice and performance and a fully annotated score especially prepared for this MMO release printed on high-quality ivory paper with informative liner notes.

In Portraits For Piano Bonnie von Reis Doe has 'painted' a musical portrait of each of her grandchildren each piece is characterised by their principal personality traits. This collection of pieces reflects thecomposer's fascination with harmonies chord qualities and progressions and how a simple change can profoundly alter the emotional effect of a motif or theme. In general these pieces were composed with young people inmind. There are some rewarding technical challenges and all are stepping stones to more advanced works. All the pieces leave plenty of room for interpretation and self expression so that each performer can make them his or herown.

Music Minus One Piano-Rachmaninov's composition teacher famed Russian composer Anton Arensky wrote these lovely and simple piano duets which run the gamut of emotion in true Russian Romantic style. Stravinsky's wonderful dances round out this charming album with a tongue-in-cheek pair of parts one extremely easy the other a dizzying rhythmic joke! Stravinsky loved these three pieces so much that he later orchestrated them as Nos. 1-3 of his Suite No. 2 for small orchestra. A must-have for the less advanced student who wants to play luscious Russian Romantic music! Includes complete printed music score with both primo and secondo piano parts and a compact disc featuring the duets in twoformats: split-channel stereo with secondo part on the left channel primo on the right so you can play either part and then again with just the secondo part in stereo so you can perform the primo part alongside.
