Piano Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1458777 Composed by Greg Woodward. 21st Century,Baroque,Contemporary,Jazz,Multicultural,World. Score. 3 pages. Greg Woodward #1037712. Published by Greg Woodward (A0.1458777). Tango for Glenn is a tribute to Glenn Gould, whose particular way of playing Bach on piano was so influential in its day. However, it's very much a joyful romp through a range of styles.The main theme is in 5/4 and it moves through a range of - mostly - irregular time-signatures, but uses a harmonic and melodic vocabluary strongly influenced by Bach, with lashings of some more jazzy language. There is a brief (two beat long) quote of Paul McCartney's song Blackbird used as thematic material in the second episode, the guitar part of which was also based on a piece by Bach. This would make a fun concert or encore piece.Thanks to wonderful local pianist Karen Smithies for the performance.Visit my YouTube page for more performances, arrangements and compositions.

String Quartet Cello,String Quartet,Viola,Violin - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1460359 Composed by Greg Woodward. 21st Century,Chamber,Classical. 54 pages. Greg Woodward #1039292. Published by Greg Woodward (A0.1460359). My third string quartet is a playful and melodic work, encompassing a wide range of styles and moods with a high degree of thematic unity. The joyful, dance-like character of the opening eventually disintegrates into a moment of sorrow, before a pensive, introspective section with elements of Herrmann and Shostakovich. A grand crescendo leads to a huge A major chord (a reference to the Beatles' A Day In The Life) that gradually becomes more dissonant as it progresses underneath a constant high A pedal point in the first violin. A chant-like section featuring open fifths follows, before a driving, angular section in 5/4. This recurs a few times interspersed with some musical episodes before ushering in a majestic transformation of the earlier chant-like section. After this runs its course and dies out, a final section revisits the dance-like energy of the first section which borrows thematic material from all through the piece before speeding into a final jazzy major sixth pizzacato chord.This would make a good concert piece.Visit my YouTube page for more performances, arrangements and compositions.
