This is a piano improvisation on this familiar Christian hymn tune. Either enjoy listening to it, or sing along with the following words: I love to tell the story of unseen things above, of Jesus and His glory, of Jesus and His love. I love to tell the story, because I know ‘tis true; it satisfies my longings as nothing else can do. Refrain: I love to tell the story, ‘twill be my theme in glory, to tell the old old story of Jesus and His love. I love to tell the story, ‘tis pleasant to repeat what seems, each time I tell it, more wonderfully sweet.. I love to tell the story, for some have never heard the message of salvation from God’s own Holy Word. Repeat refrain I love to tell the story, for those who know it best seem hungering and thirsting to hear it like the rest. And when in scenes of glory I sing the new, new song,‘Twill be the old, old story that I have loved so long. Repeat refrain BMI www.patholmberg.com.

A melody recorded in various places and times, such as Lithuania, Serbia, Romania, USA, Greece, Belarus and more, since 1910s and up to 1980s.

The Eastern Piano Project
The position of the piano within classical studies is linked to its emblematic role in the history of Western music, as well as with the respective conservatism that derives from this. An alternative approach, having the present as a pillar, causes, therefore, a resurgence of interest in young students, pianists and the audience. The Eastern Piano Project focuses on urban popular repertoires, moving on two inter-dependable axes: the creation of a unique pianistic repertoire, and the development of a performance practice, both of which have identifiable characteristics.

The famous “I Love Lucy” theme song was written by composer Eliot Daniel (1908–1997) 

I Love Lucy is an American television sitcom that originally aired on CBS from October 15, 1951, to May 6, 1957, with a total of 180 half-hour episodes, spanning six seasons.  The show starred Lucille Ball and her husband Desi Arnaz, along with Vivian Vance and William Frawley.

Lyrics:

I love Lucy and she loves me
We're as happy as two can be
We have our quarrels but then
Oh, how we love making up again

Lucy kisses like no one can
She's my misses and I'm her man
And life is heaven you see
'Cause I love Lucy, yes
I love Lucy and
Lucy loves me.

These two traditional spirituals work well together. The arrangement begins with the arrival of the storm, which gradually fades and passes, resolving into a thoughtful reflection on the woes caused by the tempest. The storm returns with building fury but quickly passes, once again settling into stillness. Just before the song's ending, the storm echoes off in the distance, letting us know that our troubles may not yet be over. This is the ninth arrangement in my Contemplative Spirituals for Solo Piano collection.

I have often seen the anxiety of my 4 year old grand-daughter searching for the doll, the teddy the her security blanket that she had misled and this would cause quite a drama before going to bed... We would then search the whole house for it... This piano piece is for lower intermediate students and is characterized by a very clear 5/4 beat on the left hand. A good introduction to the 5/4 beat with an interesting melody I hope will please young piano students (and older ones...) and will be useful for teachers.

Because Her Name Is Laura. Piano music by Juan María Solare
This piece calls for piano resonances (harmonics) and has a non-tonal ('atonal') music language.

Technically, this piece isn't very complicated. However, expressively is possibly not for kids, but rather for late beginners (or, of course, professional pianists).

This abstract miniature is dedicated to Laura Kuhn (head of the John Cage Trust, New York).
Because Her Name Is Laura was composed in 2006. At that time I thought that if I ever had a daughter, her name would be Laura. Well, now I have a daughter and her name is Laura.

For Kay - Because the Lady 
doesn’t necessarily like Milk Tray!
 
Back in the late 50’s when I was a kid, my elder brother and I used to spend numerous hours playing in the woods and as a team we’d catch anything that was catchable, such as lizards, newts, frogs, shrews, slow worms etc. 

One time our cousins Angela and Kay came to stay and just for a laugh, we acquired an empty chocolate box, added a few lizards, and gave it to Kay (who was 5 at the time). 

Clearly Kay didn’t appreciate how difficult it was to catch the lizards and reckons she’s been traumatised for the last 60 odd years. I keep telling her that I was only an innocent accomplice and my brother was the instigator.

Anyway, this piece is for Kay with love to help ease the trauma.

This piece requires at least a 76 note (6 octaves) keyboard. I would rate this as MODERATELY DIFFICULT, but very satisfying.
