Style Collection (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

Par CORNICK MIKE. 'The six pieces which make up this set were composed over a number of years and explore a range of styles. Characteristic Pieces is a collective title which has been used by many composers, especially of the Romantic period, for a group of shorter piano compositions which are held together by a common factor. In this instance, however, the term 'characteristic' has been applied somewhat loosely and refers to the diversity of the distinct styles within the set. The chosen styles include the pastiche Rococo Plus, Ragtime and Blues and the somewhat more contemporary The Little Dancer.' Mike Cornick / Date parution : 2023-03-21/ Recueil / Piano
