At the end of the world we learn to dance

Regular price
$35.00
The novel, Here at the end of the world we learn to dance, by New Zealand author Lloyd Jones, tells of a lifelong relationship between two people, forged by the tango, which begins on the West Coast of New Zealand, and ends in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Three excerpts from the novel focus on dancing and learning the tango by these two and others drawn into their story. The long song adopts the different tango styles and moods referred to in the story through a three-song structure with a refrain and interludes.

Ballad of the Canterbury Pilgrims, The
By Diana Blom
Regular price
$30.00
Geoffrey Chaucer's classic set of stories, The Canterbury Tales is rich with characters from a range of England's social classes, each making a pilgrimage to Canterbury Cathedral to visit the shrine of Saint Tomas Becket. These characters allow solos, duets and trios with the piano supporting each character's personality and plays with a descending eight bell peal of Canterbury Cathedral. A ballad structure, the song focuses on five pilgrims - the knight, his squire, the nun, the cook and a good wife. The language is a mixture of Middle English and Modern English. Composed 2015
