Harpsichord - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.862503 Composed by Michael Bomier. Contemporary,Instructional,Standards. Score. 2 pages. Michael Butkus-Bomier #2032023. Published by Michael Butkus-Bomier (A0.862503). Thirds, seven-note scalar runs, and syncopation characterize this final entry in the series of Modal Inventions. The Locrian mode was not a true church mode. It was given that name by jazz musicians, who wanted a modal designation for each of the seven modes for every major scale. This piece uses cut-time, and a half-note figure as its subject. The countersubject is a scale. Each exposition and its reverse end with a syncopated series of thirds, like the E Major Invention of Bach. These elements mix and match themselves through the piece, which ends on a B7 chord without a 3rd or 5th degree, giving the finale its ambiguous, Locrian sound. All nine inventions make a nice program for the opening of a three-element recital. They also make an excellent introduction into the world of modern music, since the two-part invention format is familiar, and the scalar aspect is also a musical staple throughout the eras, even though the modal derivatives rather than the parent major scales are used.

Harpsichord - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1135406 Composed by Phil Beaman. Classical. Score. 8 pages. Phil Beaman #735451. Published by Phil Beaman (A0.1135406). 2 Easy Classical Dances are great Harpsichord Solos for lesson learning as well as recitals. Both pieces are in the Key of C, both are binary, and both are written in a style reminiscent of Mozart. They both have an upbeat, happy feel and are fun to play. One is a Minuet and the other is a Gavot. The Gavot introduces Alberti bass, triplets, mordents, and different phrasing between the hands. Repeated sections alternate loud-soft, detached-slurred, major-minor. The Minuet has an easy fanfare theme of repeated notes, scales, and arpeggios, then 6 variations which introduce neighbouring notes, tonic minor, inversions, light syncopation, mordents, staccato, and octave. Minuet - 5 pages, 2 minutes Gavot - 2 pages, 1:30 minutes with cover, 8 page booklet.

Harpsichord - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.998859 Composed by Robert A. Howard. 21st Century,Classical,Contemporary,Contest,Festival,Instructional. Score. 5 pages. Robert A. Howard #6264813. Published by Robert A. Howard (A0.998859). This short work for solo harpsichord explores the juxtaposition of seemingly unrelated musical material. Several motivic ideas are stated and repeated in differing orders, thus changing their context. Therefore the structure is rather 'mosaic-like', just as different ideas, and coloured tiles, can reoccur in different places/patterns in a mosaic work of art. The piece is highly accessible and is appropriate for most standards of harpsichordist, including students and advanced players.
