Just like the classic Step in Time 54 years prior, Trip a Little Light Fantastic reigns as the no-holds-barred, large-scale production number from the corresponding movie starring everyone's favorite British nanny. With lamplighters taking the stage in lieu of chimney-sweepers, the spirit of this song, which takes its name from an old phrase meaning to dance nimbly, is preserved in this rousing arrangement that shines brightly!

Obviously the friendly little reptile only feels truly fit amidst original literature, and you'll be amazed to see how many gently flowing or wildly cascading pieces have been produced over the past two centuries. You'll find pieces by masters such as Czerny, Schumann, Gurlitt and Theodor Kirchner; some white-water pieces from William Gillock and Mike Schoenmehl; and with the Little Atlantic Rhapsody, an ocean breeze will sweep through every piano lesson. No one has to be afraid of water, however, since Splash is also ideal for non-swimmers! The pieces are generally a bit more demanding than those in the Horses book, but this definitely need not dampen anyone's enthusiasm. With this book, learning the piano goes swimmingly!

Scenes from Welsh life and landscape are a frequent source of inspiration for the music of Rhian Samuel, and, in Dovey Junction, the joyful atmosphere of families en route to the Welsh seaside via the little west-coast railway line is the cue for a crackling scherzo for brass quintet. A snappy rondo theme insists on dressing up in a different texture each time it returns. In between, pithy staccato phrases for trumpets are the setting for more cantabile figures from horn and trombone, and a brief and bluesy episode for muted solo trumpet suggests lazy days on the beach, or grown-up nostalgia for holidays long past. But the energy and sense of expectation remain unstoppable from the first bar to the last, and all five instruments sweep the music into a furious coda that ends the work in riotous high spirits. Dovey Junction was written for performance by Borealis Brass (Alaska) at the UNESCO World Forum on Music, Los Angeles, USA in October 20005, at the invitation of the Fondazione Adkins Chiti: Donne in Musica, (Rome).
