Sarah 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 album of piano pieces, inspired by growing up in the Chiltern Hills. Suitable for players of around grade 4-5 standard, her evocative sound pieces describe a crash-landing hot air balloon, garden invading cows and a even a snake in a pond!Air Balloon!: One vivid memory I have as a child is of the day that a hot air balloon passed over our house and made an emergency landing on the road in front! The sound of the gas being blown into the balloon to try to keep it high enough to pass the house sounded so loud and intimidating, and then there was the bustle of the neighbours as we all went out into the street to watch. It was both terrifying and exhilarating to watch the balloon float past and then land so near by.Buzzards Circling: There is something so calming and restful about watching birds of prey circling in the thermal currents of a summer sky. Growing up in the Chilterns gave me plenty of opportunity to watch buzzards and red kites. This piano solo captures the beauty of their flight as they glide so effortlessly through the air.There’s A Cow In The Garden Eating The Flowers: Inspired by the memory of seeing an unexpected cow in the garden! This surreal image is captured in a quirky waltz, as I portray both the absurdity of the moment and the sense of wonder I felt as a child, looking out of the window and seeing the cow walking round and eating the flowers. The final phrase articulates my longing: ‘I wish it would come again’.Watching The World Go By: A short, reflective piece, remembering what it was like to have time to just sit and watch the world go by from my bedroom window.Autumn Skies: A miniature about the beauty of Autumn skies and the poignant sense of loss for a summer gone. Friends I was fortunate to have several children of my own age living close by. We seemed to be forever making dens, playing out in the street and generally enjoying each other’s company. This piece reflects that sense of well-being.Snake In The Pond: One hot summer I was astonished and scared to see a grass snake cooling off in our garden pond! I watched, both horrified and fascinated, as it rose up from the depths and then disappeared again. Here I portray the sense of the hazy summer afternoon as I peacefully watched the tiny movements of fish in the pond, contrasted with the fear and excitement of seeing the snake appear.Morning Commute: I recollect many mornings stuck in traffic as my Dad took me to school on his way to work. There is one main road out of the village where I grew up, and that got more and more congested the closer we got to the town. We may not have chatted a lot, but it was always good to be together with my Dad, lost in our own thoughts.The Witch’s Cottage: My siblings and I had a fascination with a small cottage nearby. It was set back from the road in a dark part of the woods and we called it 'the witch's cottage’. Every time we passed, I imagined I heard the distant cackle of the witch and wished I could catch a glimpse of her.These pieces are written to complement my other collection, Night Time Impressions, which also draw on childhood recollections, particularly of the woods behind the house where I grew up. - Sarah Baker 2023.

Sarah 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.'.

This piece was written to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the Takayama Wind Orchestra, who also commissioned it. The historic city of Takayama draws numerous visitors from home and abroad, not just to see its well-preserved old houses and buildings but also because every year several historic processions take place, with beautiful floats. When these ride through the city, age-old melodies are heard played on wooden flutes, accompanied by muted drums. This image is evoked at the beginning of the work, followed by an archaic sounding melody in a typically Japanese pentatonic sequence, that develops throughout. In this challenging piece Eastern and Western influences alternate,creating a sensational and overwhelming musical effect! Dit werk is geschreven ter gelegenheid van het vijftigjarig bestaan van het Takayama Wind Orchestra, dat tevens de opdrachtgever was. De historische stad Takayama trekt jaarlijks talloze bezoekers uit binnen- en buitenland, niet alleen vanwege de goed bewaarde oude huizen en gebouwen die de stad rijk is, maar ook omdat er elk jaar een aantal historische optochten plaatsvinden. Wanneer die door de stad trekken, weerklinken eeuwenoude melodieën, gespeeld op houten fluiten en begeleid door doffe trommen. Dit beeld wordt opgeroepen aan het begin van het werk, gevolgd door een archa sch klinkende melodie in een typisch Japanse pentatonische tonenreeks, die zich in de loop van het werkverder zal ontwikkelen. In dit pittige werk wisselen oosterse en westerse invloeden elkaar af, met als resultaat een meeslepend en overweldigend muzikaal effect! Dieses Stück wurde aus Anlass des 50-jährigen Jubiläums des Takayama Wind Orchestra geschrieben, das dieses Werk auch in Auftrag gegeben hat. Die Altstadt von Takayama zieht jedes Jahr zahlreiche Besucher aus dem In- und Ausland an, nicht nur wegen der gut erhaltenen alten Häuser und Gebäude, sondern auch wegen der historischen Festumzüge, die dort stattfinden. Wenn diese durch die Stadt ziehen, erklingen uralte Melodien, die auf Holzflöten gespielt und von gedämpften Trommeln begleitet werden. Dieses Bild wird zu Beginn des Werks hervorgerufen, darauf folgt eine archaisch klingende Melodie mit einer typisch japanischen pentatonischen Sequenz, die sich im Laufe des Werkesweiterentwickelt. In diesem anspruchsvollen Werk wechseln sich östliche und westliche Einflüsse ab und erzeugen einen sensationellen und überwältigenden musikalischen Effekt! Cette ?uvre a été commandée par le Takayama Wind Orchestra l??occasion de son 50e anniversaire. La ville historique de Takayama attire de nombreux visiteurs locaux et étrangers chaque année, non seulement gr ce aux maisons et b timents anciens bien conservés, mais aussi aux processions historiques qui y ont lieu. Lors de ces défilés, on entend des mélodies ancestrales jouées par des fl tes en bois et accompagnées de tambours en sourdine. Cette image est évoquée au début de l???uvre, suivie d??une mélodie au son archa que basée sur une séquence pentatonique typiquement japonaise qui continue son développement tout au long de l???uvre. Les influences orientales et occidentaless??alternent dans cette composition exigeante et créent ainsi un effet musical qui est sensationnel et extraordinaire ! Questo pezzo è stato scritto per celebrare il cinquantesimo anniversario della Takayama Wind Orchestra, che lo ha anche commissionato. La storica citt di Takayama attira numerosi visitatori anche all'estero, non solo per visitare le sue case storiche e gli edifici ben conservati, ma anche perché ogni anno si svolgono diverse processioni storiche, con bellissimi carri allegorici: Quando attraversano la citt , si sentono melodie secolari suonate su flauti di legno, accompagnate da tamburi. Questa immagine è evocata all'inizio del brano, seguita da una melodia dal suono arcaico in una sequenza pentatonica tipicamente giapponese, che si sviluppa lungo tutto il brano. In questo impegnativo pezzo si alternano influenze orientali e occidentali, creando un effetto musicale sensazionale e travolgente!

An exciting and impressive composition that portrays an epic struggle in the distant past between the forces of good and evil. A wizard, a beautiful exotic maiden, a battle, and our hero are woven in the fabric of this musical tale. Sprightly melodies, lively rhythms and tasty writing for a whole battalion of percussionists produce an opening section which is full of energy and vitality. The flowing adagio section features a nice oboe solo (cued in clarinet) and a horn section soli (cued in saxes) that really make this piece special. A superior choice for any concert or contest performance.
