Anywhere

By Jane Hammond

Regular price $20.00 Sale

Solo piano c.5'10.  Licentiate Level 3, AMEB Piano

“Where am I going? I don’t quite know.”

Anywhere is a setting without voice of the poem “Spring Morning” by the English poet Alan Alexander Milne (1882–1956) from his 1924 collection of poems ‘When We Were Very Young’.

This jazz inspired work sounds like an improvisation: the opening consists of fragments and question marks. A terrific piece for students interested in jazz and improvisation!

Recorded and edited by Katie Zhukov in the volume of Australian Women Composers' Anthology Vol I available online https://youtu.be/qEt0FgZ9Jnk

      By Katie Zhukov

      Regular price $50.00 Sale

      Grades Intermediate (5th) to Advanced (Dip.)

      This second volume of new piano repertoire by Australian women composers is a companion to the Australian Women Composers’ Piano Anthology (2015) published earlier by Wirripang.

Introducing new generations of piano students to music by women composers helps drive the grassroots campaign for gender equality in Australian classical music.

                        There is a solitude of space
                        A solitude of sea
                        A solitude of death, but these
                        Society shall be
                        Compared with that profounder site
                        That polar privacy
                        A soul admitted to itself --
                        Finite infinity.
