Anywhere
By Jane Hammond
Regular price
$20.00
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

Arapacana
By Michael Hugh Dixon
Regular price
$30.00
For two horns, c.7'15. Professional level
A duet in just intonation that requires some practicing but not too much! The word arapacana is part of a mantra, though musically that doesn’t happen till bars 114-150. The quirky opening is about outward activity interspersed with moments of reflection.
Composed 2021
One score covers both horns for digital download.
