Carl Loewe's Wanderer's Night Song for Bass or Baritone Voice and Piano. Edited by Albert Howe.

Beautiful and atmospheric Night Songs presents two pre-reading companion pieces: Night Wind on white keys (A minor) and Night Lights on black keys. These lively pieces are sure to be fall recital favorites.

4 Night Songs-These stylish and passionate songs present technical challenges for even accomplished singers though their cumulative effect is worthwhile.Twentieth century English composer singer and actress Madeleine Dring wrote songs that frequently employed jazz chords in their accompaniment which has been compared in the US to Gershwin though these evocative and emotional songs recall better the influence of Poulenc. They were composed in 1982. Her contemporary the poet Michael Armstrong lived on Jersey after his service in the World War II where he ran a small hotel with his wife as well as being a painter poet publisher and for a while a member of the staff of GeraldDurrell’s zoo.

36 Original Piano Pieces-The music teacher and pianist Monika Twelsiek adds a new selection of piano works around the subject of Night and Dreams to the Piano Classics series. At any time the night was a theme in literature art and music. 'Night' and 'Dream' are emotional images which evoke vastly different emotions in different people. The night is a place of peace and security of longing and love of secrets imagination and dreams. But night also means strangeness loneliness fear danger and crime. The collection 'Night and Dreams' with works from the Romantic piano literature to new contemporary sounds tries to capture all of these nightly emotions. Apart from aplethora of folk-song-like lullabies numerous fantastic dream pieces and descriptions of dangerous night scenes have been added to the collection. An alluring mixture of imagination and reality for advanced piano pupils and lovers of piano music.Content - P. Zilcher: Lullaby op. 93/4 - G. Nevada: A Little Dreamy - A.

L'édition officielle des partitions de l'album du même nom « Piano Songbook » chez Sony Classical. Elle contient des arrangements et des fantaisies sur des œuvres populaires, du baroque au romantisme, ainsi que des compositions originales de Martin Stadtfeld. Niveau de difficulté facile à intermédiaire - idéal pour les jeunes et ceux qui se remettent au piano.
« Les œuvres rassemblées dans ce volume m'ont accompagné toute ma vie. Dans des périodes difficiles, cette musique m'apporte du réconfort et de la certitude.
Les arrangements sont en partie libres et subjectifs, distillant ce qui est essentiel pour moi. La devise était : le moins de notes possible. C'est également ce que je revendique pour mes dix propres compositions dans la troisième partie. Ainsi, la plupart des pièces peuvent être jouées dans des cours de piano. Même ceux qui se remettent au piano après une longue période peuvent commencer avec ces pièces. Je souhaite que beaucoup de gens, lorsqu'ils les joueront, ressentent ce que j'ai ressenti lorsque j'ai écrit ce volume : contemplation, approfondissement, force intérieure. »

Four poems sharing a common motif of 'Night' provide the texts for my choral cycle Nocturnes, the American Choral Directors Association's commissioned work for its 2005 national convention. For Rilke's atmospheric ?Sa nuit d'ete,? several melodic themes are supported by dense, colorful harmonies in both the choral and piano parts, leading to a climactic section where all are combined and stated simultaneously. Neruda's ?Soneto de la Noche,? from his Cien Sonetos de Amor, speaks of an eternal love that transcends death while reaffirming life. My a cappella setting of this gorgeous poem is predominantly quiet, serene and folk-like, utilizing direct harmonies accompanying long, lyrical vocal lines. Agee's wondrous ?Sure on this Shining Night? is set much like a song from the American musical theater, a genre for which I have held a life-long esteem. Rilke's poignant ?Voici le soir? recalls the opening bell sounds and jazz-tinged chords of the first movement and serves as an epilogue, quietly concluding this cycle of night songs as darkness descends.
