Mike Cornick's Style Collection - Waltz Time (CORNICK MIKE)

Par CORNICK MIKE. Play with style using Mike Cornick's Style Collection for piano! This collection of pieces has been selected from the huge repertoire of traditional Afro-Caribbean songs, many of which are characterised by strong harmonies using primary chords and frequent syncopated rhythms. As with any music drawn from an aural tradition, most of these songs exist in a variety of versions and some have found their way into the pop music repertoire. This volume of Afro-Caribbean favourites, suitable for the middle-grade player, includes Yellow Bird, Brown Girl in the Ring, Jamaica Farewell, Mango Walk, Linstead Market and many more. The CD provides the option of playing along as part of an ensemble which is both confidence-building and fun, while the demonstration tracks for listening are not only inspiring but hugely entertaining./ Etude / Piano

Popular Waltzes In Intermediate-Level Arrangements. Par CORNICK MIKE. Les arrangements de ce recueil sont tirés d'un large éventail de sources et partagent, malgré leur diversité stylistique, la principale marque distinctive de la valse - la mesure à trois temps. Le CD comporte des pistes d'écoute et d'accompagnement pour chacune des pièces, enregistrées au tempo indiqué par la vitesse de métronome en haut de la partition./ Recueil / Piano

Piano Miniatures For Intermediate-Level Players And Beyond. Par CORNICK MIKE. Six new pieces from UE's resident master of Jazz Piano, Mike Cornick. In these original pieces for intermediate players, Mike looks at various aspects of jazz, exploring the rhythms, melodies and harmonies of the idiom. The highlight of the set is Mike's own homage to the great jazz saxophonist, Charlie Parker, based on a blues progression thought to have been created by Parker himself. In 'Six Jazz Piano Solos”, Mike's own compositions will complement the arrangements in his recent 'Style Collection” series, also for intermediate pianists and upwards./ Recueil / Piano
