Anywhere

Regular price
$20.00
“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!

Australian Women Composers' Piano Anthology Volume II
By Katie Zhukov
Regular price
$50.00
Grades Intermediate (5th) to Advanced (Dip.)
16 piano works by Wirripang-published, Australian Women Composers 2018.
Especially written and selected for this album as edited by Katie Zhukov and it includes a CD of each work recorded by Katie Zhukov.
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.
Commissioning new work from established and emerging composers provides an opportunity for women’s voices to be heard in the Australian classical music arena that tends to be dominated by live and recorded performances of music by male composers. Introducing new generations of piano students to music by women composers helps drive the grassroots campaign for gender equality in Australian classical music.
The pieces vary in style from Romantic to contemporary, neo-classical, and jazz-influenced idioms.
Each work is accompanied by the composer’s biography, composer comments and pedagogical advice. The grading will assist teachers is choosing repertoire of appropriate difficulty for study and as extra lists for examinations.

There is a Solitude
By Jane Hammond
Regular price
$15.00
Composed 2016
Inspired by the poem There is a Solitude of Space by Emily Dickinson.
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.
