Andante, Op. 2. No.1
By Sofia Chapman
Regular price
$15.00
Piano Accordion, c.2'30.. Grade 4
From the play by the composer “The Four Accordionists of the Apocalypse".
The story briefly - Frigg, Norse Goddess of Fertility, descends to Earth to see why she’s no longer worshipped and to address a crisis in human fertility. She decides to have an apocalypse and books as musicians Vita Bellows, for whom the accordion is a revelation, as well others seeking work such as Valkyries and midwives. But when Vita’s accordion comes to life, representing all human made objects in the final showdown, Frigg fears the destructive force of the accordion may indicate a ‘Twilight of the Gods’. Andante - ‘a piece to be played in motion’, performed in the play by Vita, who travels the globe busking with her accordion.

Opera Nuova, Op.1 No.1
By Sofia Chapman
Regular price
$15.00
Piano Accordion, c.1'25. Grade 5
From the play by the composer “The Accidental Death of an Accordionist”. A rebel accordionist, Sinistra Loca, is kidnapped and forced to join an Accordion Orchestra. The Conductor, Herr Mettick, has been instructed by the Sponsors to present insipid easy-listening medleys and only play on the white notes, yet Sinistra insists on playing discordantly using black notes and accidentals, to Mettick’s chagrin. Opera Nuova is Sinistra’s final piece - she expires in the penultimate bar due to the conductor’s sabotage of the forbidden accidental keys.
